TheVerge - At Canon’s EOS M launch event in Minato Ward, Tokyo — just around the corner from Sony’s headquarters — the world’s largest camera maker is giving 500 or so members of the press their first look at its new mirrorless camera. Like Sony’s NEX offerings, the EOS M has a large, APS-C-sized sensor, and is fully compatible with its manufacturer's back catalog of lenses via an add-on adapter.
Pocket-Lint: The Canon EOS M heralds the biggest-selling camera manufacturer's entrance into the world of compact system cameras (CSC). With a large sensor just like a DSLR - in the case of the EOS M it's identical to that in the EOS 650D DSLR - but without the mirrorbox for a more trim design, the CSC formula has been tried, tested and adapted over the years by other manufacturers.
Engadget - There have been plenty of false alarms in recent months, but Canon's first mirrorless interchangeable lens camera (ILC) is finally here -- in fact, we're holding it in our hands. The EOS M is clearly reminiscent of a point-and-shoot, such as the company's high-end PowerShot S100. Sure, Canon could have added some of the dedicated controls that its professional user base would demand, but photojournalists aren't the target here, for a few reasons.
Pocket-Lint : The Canon EOS M is a brand new compact system camera, which lays to rest the major camera manufacturer's absence in this particular market sector. It's about time too: the rumours have been ongoing for years, and it's only now that Canon lifts the lid to reveal the M-series.
