Allgemein gehaltene Überschrift, weil alles zur neuen, spiegellosen Systemkamera von Canon hier rein soll. Von den Gerüchten, die in den nächsten Tagen sicherlich konkreter werden, über die Vorstellung des Systems voraussichtlich am 23. Juli, bis zu den ersten Hands-On-Berichten.

Zur Zeit wird davon ausgegangen, dass die Canon CSC einen Sensor im APS-C-Format haben wird und über einen neuen Objektivanschluss verfügen wird. Die Kompatibilität mit Canon EF-Objektiven soll aber mittels eines Adapters voll gegeben sein. Die Kamera ist vermutlich nicht auf ultimative Kompaktheit getrimmt und wohl größer, als diverse andere CSCs, wie die NEX-Modelle von Sony.

Nachdem Canon sich sehr viel Zeit gelassen hat, in den Mirrorless-Markt einzusteigen, sind die Erwartungen natürlich hoch. Mal sehen, ob Canon diese erfüllen kann. Ich bin jedenfalls schon sehr gespannt und freue mich darauf, zeitnah über die Kamera berichten zu können.

Ken Rockwell leidet mal wieder an "Hirndurchfall"



....The Canon EOS M is the world's first serious mirrorless camera.

By "mirrorless" I mean modern digital cameras with DSLR image quality, live through-the-lens (TTL) viewing and interchangeable lenses, just without the flipping mirror. Obviously 4x5" cameras have no mirrors, but I'm not referring to them.

By "serious," I mean professional grade. Sony, Samsung, Fuji, Olympus, Panasonic and other third-tier brands offer lots of mirrorless cameras, but then aren't pro grade; they are just consumer electronics products and usually only with smaller 4/3 sensors (or smaller) and/or lens mounts often with few advanced lenses available. (First tier is LEICA, classic Hasselblad, Contax and others. Second tier is Nikon and Canon.)

While a serious camera with a big sensor and no mirror; the LEICA M9 doesn't count: it has no TTL viewing, so you never really know what's in your picture until after it's taken!

The Fuji X-Pro1 is the next best thing to the EOS M, but again limited by too few lenses and a weird custom mount and only so-so color rendition. It's a great start, but lacks Canon's color savvy and system breadth. The limited lens selection is OK since it has everything I need, but the sloppy colors are almost as bad as the LEICA M9's

Up until now, there have been no serious professional mirrorless camera systems.

Ken Rockwell ist einfach der Geilste.

Was regt ihr euch auf. Der Mann ist der personifizierte Fotografengott.

Es gab übrigens schon mal eine EF-M von Canon:

Die Heißt aber EOS M.
EF-M heißt nur der Objektivanschluss.

Ken Rockwell *sick* Keine Ahnung, warum der immer wieder zitiert wird

@sonorman: jaja, schon richtig.

Fand es trotzdem ganz kurios dass der Name EF-M schon mal da war.
