Pocket-Lint: Canon has unveiled the EOS M, its first entry into the compact system camera market. An entirely new system demands a closer look, especially when it comes from Canon. What might look like a shrunken down 650D on the specs sheet looks altogether different by design and has plenty more hidden behind the scenes.
So what exactly is the EOS M? We are sure most of you have plenty of questions. So without further hesitation, here is everything you need to know about Canon's EOS M.
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.
