And let's face it, the 'public acceptance optics' of a full EF mirrorless --
if it was the only FF mirrorless they offered -- would be radioactive:
- Canon is resting on its laurels
- Canon is lazy and cheap
- Canon is afraid of change
- Canon cares more about existing customers than making new ones
...even if it was 50 MP x 10 fps, had IBIS, eye AF, and killer 4K.
And I'm just not talking fanboys at DPR or PP would go nuts over this. I think the entire industry would. It would be like Canon
sort-of launching a new platform. Canon needs to unlock the power of a mirrorless setup (just the main power train of liveview + focusing setup + EVF and all that that would enable), but I think it
also needs to speak to folks who want a smaller system and less to lug around.
So I think thin mount offering has to happen... but I hope a full EF mount happens as well. If Canon can have so many FF SLRs, they can have more than one in mirrorless, surely.
