Canon interviews (lot of talk about the EOS-M)

Nikkei interviewed Canon managers and talked about the new Canon EOS-M camera. Focus was on the AF and Shutter technology. The interesting thing is that they said the real target of the EOS-M are “women”. And another Japanese website DC.watch (translation here) tested the EF lens adapter.

Now what we really need is new lenses for the EOS-M camera. We still have to wait until February to see them announced!

The text in the picture above says: «the EOS 6D (N) does not have WiFi and GPS functionality». Anyone?
