Canon EOS M2 in bay blue

Bay blue and red are the 2 new color options for the Canon EOS M2, both available in August. Unfortunately neither in Europe nor in the USA, since Canon opted to not commercialise the EOS M2 in this geographic areas.

Canon Japan (translated) also announced an EOS M2 double zoom kit that will be available in August. The kit comes with the EF-M 18-55mm IS STM and the new EF-M 55-200mm IS STM lenses. This kit will be available in Europe but not in the USA.

Canon EOS M2 Available Starting December 20 (in Japan)

The recently announced Canon EOS M2 will be available in Japan starting starting December 20th. The body only option and all kits will be released. As you probably know the EOS M2 will not be available everywhere. Indeed, it appears the EOS M2 won’t even be available in all Asian countries. The EOS M2 is available for pre-order at Amazon JP, but will not ship out of Japan. The EOS M, on the other hand, can be had for a bargain: $279 at newegg with the 18-55mm IS STM lens.
