More pictures have been leaked via CR. You can see the Canon’s mirrorless camera (EOS M) and the new EF-M 22mm f/2 STM lens.It looks liek an entry level system camera and very compact in his size. It almost makes me think the sensor is smaller than APS-C!!! What do you think?
The lens has 22mm, it would be 44mm if the sensor would have a Four Thirds sensor size and a 33mm lens with an APS-C sensor.
Finally we have it the first image of the Canon mirrorless camera! The image appeared on Japanese site digicame-info (via Canonwatch). The model name is EOS M (name on top of the camera). And on tha picture you see the EF-M 22mm f/2 STM pancake lens. It has a new New mount called EF-M (“M” for “mirrorless”?). So unlike previous rumors (posted on other websites) this is not going to use a Canon G1X Four Thirds sized sensor! Stay tuned on MirrorlessRumors! We will follow the Canon event live on Monday July 23th! Announcement starts at 6-7 am London time!
The Sony RX100 is really a unmatched kind of camera. It’s one of the few things that grabs your very deep attention. And finally it’s shipping at Amazon US (Click here) and Bhphoto (Click here). And if you still complain about the lack of grip don’t worry…Richard Franiec solved the issue ;)
I am surprised to see how tight the lips around the Canon mirrorless are. According to CR there is a Canon event this Monday (July 23th). But there was no real leak until now…just bits of info. All I heard via my sources is that Canon will use an APS-C sensor and not the G1X Four Thirds sized sensor. And here is a sum of the specs leaked by CR and CW:
– One camera has an 18 Megapixel sensor
– AN EF mount adapter (the mirrorless camera uses a new kinf of mount)
– Two lenses (one zoom for sure)
And that’s it! If you may found some leak let me know! Because right now everything looks to quiet! :)

Finally after ton of leaks from Russia, France, Japan and even Oman (LOL) the G5 has been officially announced. And here are the very first worldwide preorder links and officially posted specs:
G5 in Black at BHphoto (Click here), in Silver at BHphoto (Click here)
45-150mm lens in Black at BHphoto (Click here) and in Silver at BHphoto (Click here).
LX7 in Black at BHphoto (Click here) in White at BHphoto (Click here)
Other compacts, the FZ200 at BHphoto (Click here), the FZ60 at BHphoto (Click here).
So, we just had a double leak that gives us any info we needed about tomorrow’s Panasonic announcement: 3Dnews (Translation here) and Oman Observer (Click here) posted the full press release. The most important new info is that the LX7 is not going to become the new Sony RX100 competitor. It still uses the same 1:1.7 inch sensor compared to Sony’s 1 inch size. Not a smart move don’t you think?
The Russian press release also points out that Panasonic believes that by 2015 Mirrorless will overtake digital SLR cameras. I am pretty sure they are right in this ;)
Panasonic will ahve the mega announcement tomorrow and we also got the pictures of the new compact camera stuff with the only exception of the LX7 images. Both cameras have a dedicated M video mode setting on wheel (something the G5 Micro Four Thirds cameras has not!). Click on the thumbnails below to see the full size pic:
