Here at Canon Watch and on other dedicated sites we got emails confirming the upcoming announcement of new Canon EOS M cameras. As previously reported, there will be two new bodies, one entry level and another one more feature-rich or pro-oriented. A few days ago rumors surfaced suggesting that Canon could announce at least one new EOS M body (the entry level) by the end of this week, though as far as wednesday I did not get any serious confirmation for that.

What we know: One of the two new EOS M bodies will feature the same outstanding 20MP sensor of the Canon EOS 70D. But that’s all. Other report that Canon will also announce an EF-M 55-250mm IS lens when they will announce the first body. I did not get any rumor about that but such a lens makes sense and would fit well in the EF-M lens lineup.

The still excellent EOS M is available at heavily discounted prices. Look out for bargains at the following links: B&H Photo, Adorama, Amazon USA, Amazon Canada, Canon Canada, Canon USA

More cues that we could soon see a/two new Canon EOS M camera(s). The latest rumor suggests that Canon could announce an entry level and a more feature-rich EOS M body at the same time. The more pro oriented body should be available with some interesting accessories, as an EVF and a new flash. The basic model is said to come with more color options as the actual EOS M and to have a concretely lower price tag. Hints that these rumors are solid are also given by the fact that more and more shops lists the EOS M as discontinued. FInally, there should be a new telephoto lens for the EOS M system.

I have been told (and am pretty sure) that Canon will announce the new EOS M before X-Mas- Stay tuned.

B&H still has some EOS M kits and all are heavily discounted, same for Amazon.
