Thanks to an anonymous reader who sent me this image via email. After the images of the EOS M, the new EF-M 22mm f/2 STM lens and the also new, Image Stabilized EF-M 18-55mm lens, we are able to provide an image of the external flash for Canon’s soon-to-be-announced (Monday, July 23rd) mirrorless system camera.

Stay tuned on Monday: I will cover the announcement, expected for 6-7 AM London time, providing all the new and information.

On top you can see the first picture ever posted of the new 18-55mm lens for the new Canon EOS M mirrorless system camera. It is also a confirmation that we are talking about a mirrorless camera with APS-C sensor.

Stay tuned on CanonWatch! The final Canon announcement is scheduled for next Monday at 6-7am London time! Be sure to be online at CanonWatch! We will blog live giving you all updates about news and reviews!

More images of Canon’s mirrorless camera (EOS M) and the new EF-M 22mm f/2 STM lens , expected to be announced on Monday July 23. From the picture of the lens (below) you can see that it has a minimum focusing distance of 0.15m/0.48ft (macro). There are still no exact specifications regarding the camera. We know it has a new mount type (EF-M) and for the the being the most accredited rumors are saying it will have an APS-C sensor (still not sure about that). It’s around the corner!

Update #2: We expect Canon to announce its mirrorless camera on Monday, July 23rd, around 6-7 AM London time. Stay tuned, we will cover the event from the beginning providing all the information.

Update: Got some emails saying the sensor will be APS-C sized. Please take this with a grain of salt: it is just a rumor. However, if Canon’s mirrorless camera has an APS-C sensor, the pictured 22mm lens would become 36mm. Personally, I wish it has an APS-C sized sensor and not the sensor of the PowerShot G1 X (which, btw, saw a price drop from $799 to $709 – click here).

Is this Canon’s mirrorless system camera? Looks like. The image appeared on Japanese site digicame-info. The model name is EOS M (you can see it on top of the camera). And you can see a new lens too: an EF-M 22mm f/2 STM pancake lens. New mount type is EF-M (“M” for “mirrorless”?). No word so far about sensor size and resolution. The image is said to come from a camera store, hence it should be reliable. Canon’s mirrorless system camera is expected to be announced on next Monday. Can’t wait to see more of this.

What are your thoughts?

Canon’s new, cute EF 40mm f/2.8 STM ($199, click here) is getting lots of reviews, and most of them are more than just positive. The review I cover today comes from fstoppers, and it is the most critic review I saw so far (although it is outlining the strengths of the lens). Sample pics shot with an EOS 7D, a Rebel T4i/650D and a EOS 5D are available for download (scroll down to the end of the post).
