Canon EOS M

Update: it is no longer $399 but $449. Still a bargain.

The Canon EOS M with the EF-M 22mm f/2 STM pancake lens is on sale for just $399 $449 on Amazon US (click here). The EOS M with the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens is on sale for $549 (click here). Great price for a very good performing mirrorless camera with outstanding image quality.

These sales appear to fit with the latest rumor about the next EOS M I reported about a few days ago. The successor of the EOS M could be announced this summer. Is Canon trying to empty stocks?
