It appears that Canon hit a home-run with the just announced EOS-M. The camera is already the most (pre-)ordered digital camera of the day at Amazon US (Click here). It dethrones the last week leader, the Sony RX100. This ranking is by no mean scientific and we have to wait the next months to see if the Canon EOS-M will win the heart of the mirrorless fans!
What you can see here on top is the first official EOS-M commercial posted by Canon Germany. And there are more youtube videos for your eyes….these are all youtube links: First look by Digitalcameraworld. First look by Amateur Photographer. Preview by Dpreview. A commercial via Warehouseexpress.

So this EOS-M is using the Kiss X6i sensor in a camera that has the size of the Panasonic GF5. Ha….what do you think now?
Here are some new images of the Canon mirrorless posted on the usual Canon rumor websites like CR and CW and so on…
Thinking on all these leaked pics it’s really looking like an entry level APS-C mirrorless camera. Apparently Canon believes that there is the market…with amateurs and not on the pro segment.
The image on top shows the new 18-55mm lens from Canon which will be announced on Monday along the new EOS-M mirrorless system camera. A zoom of that range fits perfectly on an APS-C sized sensor! And more pics of the new cameras can be seen here (Click on them):
