does this mean we can use existing ef efs lenses on this mount?

"Available in over 60 species of EF lens mount adapter EF-EOS M"

It's kind of ugly. Just sayin'

Though that keeps the market competitive. :)

Hmm I'm very tempted to sell my Sony NEX for the EOS M. I already own Canon gear so this would be perfect. Probably gonna be around $750.

It's ugly and there's very simplistic controls.. look at the NEX7 or the OMD... or even the EP series and the Panasonic GH etc.. Canon's too late with this one IMO.

Upside, compatible with all your existing Canon glass !
Downside, not compatible with any other 3/4 ?

Why can't it look like an old school camera like the Fuji?

And why the hell is it $600 body/$800 kit? That's too much for a 4/3rds.

Don't all mirror less cameras first come out around that price? And it's not m4/3. It's a full aps- c sensor which should rock in image quality compared to nikon and m4/3 variants. I guess we'll see in the reviews.

ok, over at the Canon site: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consum...Specifications -looks like around $799


and there's a preview at Canon EOS M: hands-on preview of Canon's first mirrorless EOS: Digital Photography Review


"The EOS M is available in sleek black, glossy white, stylish silver or bold red colours"

"The model launches alongside two new lenses, the EF-M 22mm f/2 STM pancake and the EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM standard zoom, as well as a new compact EX Speedlite – the Speedlite 90EX"

It's the same sensor that's been used since 7D...Canon's just been rehashing the same sensor in newer bodies (650 and older).

Well I never stated it was a new sensor.. Just that it's APS-C. It probably has some minimal tweaks. Just like how the M4/3 have used the same sensor for all their cameras for years now until recently. I still think the image quality would overall still be better than the m4/3 / Nikon 1 variants but we'll have to see some actual shots. The screen is also a multitouch enabled one which should make adjusting settings easier hopefully.

well, no disappointment in terms of the sensor for this release. the disappointment should have been when the t4i came out and they recycled the sensor. t2i->7d->t3i->t4i ... lol

first impressions show sluggish AF even with the 22mm/18-55 =( for this price it's not too tempting yet. mayb it'll all be corrected by oct

Great for rig shots! :)

Slow AF? damn.

E-mail from Canon Canada this morning. Of course, retail prices will probably be lower.

i thought i read somewhere it will be offered with the 22mm + the ef adapter for 979USD, maybe this package won't be offered until later.

I had a client who had her camera gear stolen at knifepoint in Stanley Park 2 days ago, so be careful shooting alone at night, everyone.

especially yourself! ;)

This is true.

From Vancouver here down to Seattle....Portland. Any camera store worth checking out in Washington / Oregon? Preferably along I-5 and not too far off.

Glazers in Seattle.

Anyone know if any shop sells this locally?

I'm not sure of any store that stocks it locally, but most camera stores should be able to order it in for you.

Any in Oregon?

Hmmm, yeah that was my last resort. I just wanted to see how it looked in person and how well it'll fit.

I guess there's "The Shutterbug"
