Canon has officially announced the EOS M Mirrorless Camera, and DP Review has an excellent Hands on Review.
And with an Adapter it can use any EOS EF or EF-S lens with it’s APS-C sized sensor, and includes full video capabilities, though it doesn’t look to have as many controls as their normal DSLRs. Sill for small and fast and compatibility this is awesome. I TOTALLY WANT ONE!
It’s stats stand like this:
- New EF-M lens mount (optimized for APS-C sensor size)
- 18MP APS-C ‘Hybrid CMOS’ sensor
- Continuous autofocus in movie mode with subject tracking
- 14-bit DIGIC5 processor
- ISO 100-12800 standard, 25600 expanded
- 4.3 fps continuous shooting, 3 fps with autofocus tracking
- 1080p30 video recording, stereo sound (with 25p or 24p options)
- External microphone socket and adjustable sound recording level
- 1040k dot 3:2 touch-sensitive ClearView II LCD (capacitative type, multi-touch support)
- Standard EOS hot-shoe for external flash (no built-in flash)
- ‘Creative Filters’ image-processing controls, previewed live on-screen
This is an exciting camera, though it sure took Canon a while to get it out (well it comes out in October) as every other manufacturer has one, but the adapter to Canon Lenses makes this so much more versatile! It is $799 with a 22mm, though you will want to spend a little more for EF Lens Adapter!
