Ken Rockwell: “The Canon EOS M is the world’s first serious mirrorless camera.”


The picture of the naked EOS-M chassis via CSCmagazine.

The famous Photoblogger Ken Rockwell has pretty much a very clear idea: He said that the Canon EOS-M is the “world’s first serious mirrorless camera“.

You may are thining what the heck is wrong with the rest of the mirrorless systesm: “By “serious,” I mean professional grade. Sony, Samsung, Olympus, Panasonic and other third-tier brands offer lots of mirrorless cameras, but then aren’t pro grade; they are just consumer electronics products and usually only with smaller 4/3 sensors (or smaller) and/or lens mounts often with few advanced lenses available.“

No comment guys, I am neutral….very neutral (LOL) and will leave any positive or negative comment to you!
