More images of the upcoming Canon EOS M10 and EF-M 15-45mm IS STM lens have leaked at Digicame Info.

The EOS M10 has a tiltable screen, despite being incredibly small. Could the EOS M10 be the smallest APS-C mirrorless camera in the industry?

The EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens has a very compact design, and it is retractable, as we anticipated here on Canon Watch. If you look at the pictures of the lens, you can see the switch to release the lens (same as on the EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM). You can also see that the 15-45mm IS STM has a plastic mount.

There are very few controls on the M10, so it will be operated mainly through the touch interface. While the EOS M10 is definitely an entry-level MILC, it seems to be an interesting piece of gear. Incredibly small and compact, with a tiltable screen, coming with a new super-compact kit lens. WiFi and NFC also seem to be on board. Not the enthusiast-oriented mirrorless camera we hope to see one day, but still: kudos Canon!

Announcement very soon. Stay tuned…

The Baby EOS M is the EOS M10, specs leaked

View Post

Specifications of the upcoming entry-level EOS M camera leaked at Digicame Info. The “baby M” is the Canon EOS M10. The specs:

  • 18MP APS-C sensor
  • Size 108 x 66.6 x 35mm
  • Weight 301g
  • 3″ monitor with 1.04M pixels
  • Hybrid CMOS AF III with face recognition and tracking
  • Comes as kit with the EF-M 15-45mm IS STM lens
  • Comes as double kit with the EF-M 15-45mm IS STM and EF-M 55-200mm
  • Approximately same size as EOS M2

The price for the double kit will be $849.99, the EF-M 15-45mm IS STM will sell at $299.99.

Two things to note: 1) the moniker EOS M10 suggests a new mirrorless line-up by Canon (entry-level line-up), 2) this is not the old Canon 18MP sensor of a few years ago. This is a new 18MP since it features Hybrid CMOS AF III.

I expect the announcement to happen very soon, possibly tomorrow. Stay tuned…

Canon EOS-1D X Mark II to feature 4K video? [CW3]

EOS-1D X
EOS-1D X Mark II coming with 4K video?

Back in March we had a first hint that the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II might feature 4K video recording. The suggestion came from Mr. Masaya Maeda in an interview. The possibility of a 4K enabled EOS-1D X Mark II surfaced again in a fresh rumor. Despite being rumored to feature 4K, the EOS-1D X Mark II is said to be a mostly stills oriented cameras.

Canon EOS 5D Mark IV to be announced before NAB 2016? [CW4]

Canon Eos 5d Mark Iii

Another rumor about the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV announcement. It is already common knowledge that the EOS 5D Mark IV will be announced in Q1 of 2016. This rumor isn’t ading anything new, it’s speculating about the exact date of the announcement.

The latest EOS 5D Mark IV announcement murmurings suggest Canon will reveal the EOS 5D Mark IV replacement before NAB 2016. The rumor says nothing about how far in advance of NAB 2016 we will see the announcement.

My guess is March 2016. For two reasons. Announcing the EOS 5D Mark IV in March would allow Canon to have it on display for both NAB and WPPI (the latter oriented to wedding photographers). And Canon did the same with the EOS 5D Mark III, announced March 2012.

It’s easy to rate this rumor CW4. The Q1 announcement of the EOS 5D Mark IV, beside being rumored by various sources since months, is just very likely to happen in the indicated time frame also because of previous announcements of the EOS 5D series.

If March 2016 will be the EOS 5D Mark IV announcement date, then we should see first possible specs around November – December. Stay tuned…
