SlideShow: Canon's EOS M mirrorless compact camera leaked

It seems that Canon has finally decided to launch a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera line with this EOS M camera that has been leaked. Seems rather compact and more similar to a point-and shoot with basic controls  than some of the more complicated models. The design is very minimalist and seems to be touchscreen driven with quick controls for stills or video.

The beauty of a Canon mirrorless system is that it will likely have access to all the great lenses. If this new camera has an APS-C sized sensor and sells at a reasonable price with good lens choices, it will surely shake up the mirrorless camera market. 

Canon to make a Historic Global Announcement on Nov 3rd

Canon may finally be getting into the compact Interchangeable Lens Camera market in 2012. The leader in DSLR and point-and-shoot segement, Canon is the remaining holdout in this popular new area of photography. Perennial Archrival Nikon has already played its hand with the Nikon N1 which will be available soon. Canon still has to consider Sony, Olympus, Pentax, Panasonic and Fujifilm which all have appealing small models with alre sensors and a variety of lenses.
