Canon EOS M Makes It Into Canon Camera Museum

Yes, the Canon EOS M (price & specs) made it into the “design hall” of the Canon Camera Museum:

“Bringing the EOS concept into a mirrorless camera.”
This was the overall approach adopted by the design team for the EOS M camera, which comprised Seishiro Takano, who was responsible for the body and interchangeable lenses; Shingo Yamazaki, designer of the user interface; Megumi Inazumi, in charge of accessories and other parts; and Shosaku Kawashima, the team leader.

Mr. Kawashima – who sought to carry forward the speed, comfort, and picture quality of the EOS series – remained committed to the clear EOS advantage of imbuing a compact body with strength and durability. In other words, the goal was to develop a mirrorless compact camera that incorporated the DNA of EOS.
The design team set a high hurdle for themselves by setting out to combine miniaturization with increased functionality. As a result, all members of the team took on bold challenges in their respective assignments.
