It looks big because it holds an APS-C sized sensor. The Sony RX100 Mark IV only has a one inch sensor, so it can be smaller.

Re: Is This The Canon EOS M5?
could be .. but the layout is odd.
assuming that's an EC dial. the dial around the shutter button is non existent, would seem odd that they'd dump that between the M3 and M5.
that would be three dials plus EC. canon's never done that (one around shutter, one in top dial, one for EC and one down around the back around the menu,etc).
there's no flash button.
doesn't seem to be an on off button / toggle anywhere.

Plus it has a built in lens. Another major space saving. Just compare the Nikon 1 system even with its smallest lens to any of the RX100 series.
If anyone wants RX100 size, you're pretty much limited to cameras of the RX100 type - small sensor fixed lens compacts.

Re: Is This The Canon EOS M5?
I totally love this design. Make it full frame and I'd definitely buy one for full-time back-up, travel, and everyday carry uses.
I know of a fellow journalist that successfully used an original M on a bigger story after both of their 5D mark IIIs were stolen, so maybe I'd take serious consideration into it even as a crop-sensor camera depending on the reviews-- it looks way ahead of the original one.

Re: Is This The Canon EOS M5?
Canon, if you go mirrorless, just please release a 5D4 mirrorless version - and include all convenient features you can find in an A7R2. You will sell more cameras and get much better feedback than if you spread existing and obvious nice features over 20 camera models in the coming 10 years. Just because a lot of Canon users have not realized today how convenient features of the competitiors are, doesn't mean you will keep them loyal customers forever with the current tactics of slow innovation.

In my eyes it shares a lot of design themes from the M3, SX60 and G5X.

If this is the M5, I'll wait for the SL2 (I already own EF and EF-S lenses)—or buy an α6xxx and a Zeiss 12mm f/2.8 Touit.

Re: Is This The Canon EOS M5?
Looks like the real deal.
Now the question is: how much it is going to be. Maybe around A6300 pricing?
Also, I wonder why an EF -> EF-M Speed Booster hasn't been announced yet, it would make a lot of sense now.

Re: Is This The Canon EOS M5?
Of course it is not. Making a quality pocketable camera like the RX100 but with a Canon badge and improvements is not impossible.
Unless Canon is changing the M brand, it was always meant to be nice and small. The sketches are way too big.

So then what's the point? Why not just get an 80D or rebel. I always thought the M series was supposed to be a quality pocketable camera.

Re: Is This The Canon EOS M5?
if it has working AF, count me in
in fact i find it more interesting than upgrading my 5D III to a IV.

Re: Is This The Canon EOS M5?
So they photoshop an image of a camera to make it look like a new model but it still looks like a fake, so run a couple filters over it and call it a sketch! Now nobody can tell that it's a crappy photoshop because it was clearly drawn with a pencil! Except to people who actually know what a real drawing looks like, because this is not a sketch or drawing of any kind.

Not sure if the images are of the M5, but here is hoping they are. That camera looks fantastic.

Re: Is This The Canon EOS M5?
Alright, so for everyone who thinks this is too big or not big enough or for the pople who are glad that it now has a bigger grip I have prepared this quick overlay for you.
To me it looks like it's exactly the same size as the M3, just with a little bump for the EVF. I tried to align the Lens as best as I could so it's not 100% perfectly aligned (it was hard enough to find a pic with the same perspective).
If this thing is real I'm quite happy. I like the size and grip of the M3 and I prefer the M3 styling over the G5X styling and button/dial layout. M3 feels more natural and thought out. I also think that nowadays anything that even remotely looks like a SLR of the film era (not as thick as todays DSLRs) will get the monicker of retro styling so I'm not disappointed that it doesn't look like a Canon A1/ AE1. Actually I'm wuite happy with the design. Looks like a mini 5D.
It's a shame though that they go for those silly strap lugs. I may be the only one who prefers the EOS M lugs wit the quick detach strap but I would have been OK with the M3 lugs as well. Those things suggested here are really not nice to use especially for your right hand. Those little key ring triangle things are somehow always in the way.

Re: Is This The Canon EOS M5?
No. Who cares about the colour?! Yes I would like a RX100 with Canon menu system. Or Canon to make the equivalent, or better, of whatever the RX100 Mark V may or may not be (if Sony ever makes one).
As long as it is not pink, I don't care....

Exactly what I was supposing when I saw that pic:
Some kind of chimera of EOS M with Lumix GH4 bulge.
