Can be remarkably improved AF performance “hybrid CMOS AF II”
Over a wide area of approximately 80% vertically and horizontally of the shooting screen, we have adopted to enable the combination of the imaging surface phase difference AF and contrast AF to “hybrid CMOS AF II”. As a result, in the ranging area wider than, enables fast focusing about 2.3 times ※ 2, it is possible to realize a shooting in the composition he wanted, ability to respond to a moving subject is improved conventional models ※ 1 will.
High image quality equivalent to that of the digital single-lens reflex camera EOS series
By the deployment of the video engine DIGIC 5 and CMOS sensor APS-C size of about 18 million pixels, and has realized the continuous shooting performance of about 4.6 frames / second highest image quality and large-sized sensor only. In addition, you can be taken by commonly used ISO sensitivity of up to ISO12800 ※ 3 (extension ISO25600), with reduced noise even in dark.
Built-in wireless LAN function of the Wi-Fi enabled
Smartphone from a Wi-Fi enabled, remote operation ※ 4, such as the incorporation of still images that are recorded to the memory card in the camera and taking still pictures can be done.
Market trend of interchangeable lens digital camera ※
Sales of interchangeable lens type digital camera of 2012 (worldwide) has reached to about 18 million units of about 13% increase over the previous year.

We just reported that the Canon EOS M2 is set to be announced soon. Now, a few specs have been leaked. The EOS M2 could be announced in a few days.
According to digicame-info (translated) the Canon EOS M2 will have the following specs:
– APS-C 18MP sensor
– Hybrid CMOS AF II
– AF speed is about 2.3 times the current type at one-shot AF · multi-point AF
– Video Servo AF
– Image processing engine DIGIC5
– Continuous shooting 4.6 frames / second
– ISO sensitivity up to ISO12800 (ISO25600 extended)
– The 8% reduction of body size (volume) compared with EOS M
– It is equipped with Wi-Fi
– Allows remote operation of the smartphone
– Can be transferred photos smartphone, printer, etc. iMAGE GATAWAY
Nothing to get particularly excited about, except for the size reduction and the built-in WiFi. But more than anything else: no Dual Pixel AF?? This looks to be a modest incremental evolution of the EOS M, not featuring Canon’s latest sensor and sensor technology. This appears to be the sensor of the Rebel SL1/EOS 100D.
