Canon prosumer mirrorless camera eventually coming in 2016? [CW2]

EOS M3
View Post

New bits about Canon’s mirrorless plans surface on the web. The rumor suggests there will be two Canon mirrorless cameras set to be announced in 2016. One should be the replacement for the [shoplink 29518]EOS M3[/shoplink], the other one may be the fabled full-frame mirrorless camera many of us would like to see.

The EOS M3 replacement is said to come with the sensor of the [shoplink 37471]Canon EOS 80D[/shoplink] and to have some minor ergonomic changes. The other, the full-frame mirrorless camera, is said to be “prosumer-oriented”, and to feature a newly designed 24MP sensor. And it should be possible to use EF lenses.

Finally, there may also be new EF-M lenses set to come.

This rumor strongly recalls an interview with Masaya Maeda of last year.

Stay tuned…

The look of the new Meyer Optik Görlitz lens is historic but the internal lens design is new. This will be Meyer’s most technologically advanced lens. It’s also near-macro glass. Rumor has it the specs are the same of one of the historic Meyer Optik lenses. You may take a guess wich of the following Meyer lenses resembles the upcpoming lens most:

The lens will be available with Canon, Nikon, MFT, Fuji, and Leica mount. Stay tuned…
