    My immediate reaction was Yawn. Another mirrorless camera with interchangeable lenses and (from the looks of things) a large sensor. Then it struck me that this is probably what a mirrorless camera with interchangeable lenses and a large sensor should look like. It has the two key advantages of a camera system - interchangeable lenses and a flash shoe, with the feel of a point and shoot.

    Updated on canonrumors.com with this picture. A 22mm f2 pancake would be a great place to start with a system like this.

    A 22mm f2 pancake is a great idea as a kit lens for this.

    The specs are making me think that hardware wise this is identical to the 650D minus the SLR, pop-up flash and change in lens mount.
    - Image sensor looks the same (18MP with hybrid AF)
    - Same Digic5 image processor
    - Identical LCD touch screen? (1.04MP 3inch touch screen)
    - Identical ISO ranges
    - Nearly identical shutter speeds 1/4000s to 30s instead of 60s and same flash sync 1/200s
    - Identical media type support
    - Identical video capabilities
    - Same multi-shot noise reduction mode

    When the mirrorless cameras 1st came out I suddenly felt that DSLR cameras were becoming old hat. It seems to me that to have the whole finicky mirror mechanism in a modern world a bit archaic. This set me wondering about newer camera trends that are changing from mechanical systems to more digitally driven designs. The old film SLR's dictated the tried and tested mirror systems as only way to go when digital cameras made their debut. But now newer technology can achieve higher framerates, shutterspeeds without the hindrance of mechanics.

    Take the "Black Magic Design" cinematic video camera for instance, without a viewfinder. Why would they risk designing something like that for their first camera release? Canon's 1st mirror less "Canon EOS M" is almost identical to my Canon 60D in half the size and I can use my EF lenses.

    Only time will tell, watch this spot

    Is everyone else also seeing double? or have my bifocals gone on the blink
