Canon until now has been sitting idle when its competitors have already set on battles for the title of ‘Mirrorless King’. This as we know is on the heads of Sony with their NEX series . The soldiers on the front line include Sony NEX-5N,Sony NEX-F3K/B ,Sony NEX-7 24.3 MP. NEX 7 has already proven itself by producing some of the most professionally acknowledged Quality . With their line up of lenses Sony will still reign. Panasonic,Fujifilm and Olympus have their mirrorless cameras and are solely focused on providing the best with models like Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2, Panasonic Lumix GF5 ,Olympus PEN E-PL1 12.3MP (one of the first),Pen-PL3,Olympus OM-D E-M5 16MP,Nikon 1 J1 10.1 MP,
Come tonight and you will find yourself lodged in between the massive entry of Canon in the Journey to the Mirror less World and The other venturers. Will canon survive on this world ? Has it got a wrong foot on the ground? Has canon lost a sense of trust over the decades old technology of Digital SLRs it has perfected. Go through the article below and find out whats up with all the new hype surrounding the Cam. Read the official canon statement below while i summarize what will it mean.
Canon EOS-M
EOS stands for the best of Canon.. 😉

Price : 799$ EF-M 22mm f/2 STM
The new EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens, Mount Adapter EF-EOS M and Speedlite 90EX will all be available in October at an estimated retail price of $299.99, $199.99 and $149.99 respectively.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Focusing
Current cameras have to compromise between the focus systems; Either Contrast AF or Phase detect based upon their body style limitations,Big But for canon as EOS-M has combined both sensor types on the Image CMOS,So Expect great things with focus .Movie Servo AF for continuous autofocus and tracking of moving subjects even before the shutter is pressed. Types? Face Detection & Tracking AF, Multi-Point AF for automatic selection and Single-Point AF, where users select one of 31 AF points through touch. So in terms of Focusing on a video ,its an improved T4i . - Sensor Size
Yep! You heard it right its APS-C sized not the relatively small
Micro thirds. Great job Canon. I am going bokehlicious.Expect cool previously unachievable depth of fields and bokeh. - Touch UI
Ample Improvements over t4i and make use of touch AF magics. Pinch to Zooms.soon - VideoMakers Rejoice
Full HD video and dedicated button for the purpose. Stereo Sound! Audio levels monitor, Full Manual control.
A dedicated movie servo (motor) for AF. Expect previously inaccurate focus ,focus shifts and lags to be over.Great Object tracking.
30p FullHd ,720p 60 fps options….In camera Editing… - Wide Array Lenses Available
With Canon officially announcing support for adapters to EOS mount,it opens a wide range of possibilities.

PRESS STATEMENT
Put Your Creativity Into Motion With The New EOS M Digital Camera
The Newest Camera in Canon’s Lineup Delivers Exceptional EOS Full HD Video Quality with Continuous Autofocus and an Expansive Selection of LensesLAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., July 23, 2012 – Combining the perfect blend of advanced video features and excellent still image quality in a convenient size, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced the EOS M Digital Camera. Canon has made significant advancements in the realm of professional-quality HD video capture, from advanced CMOS sensor technology to smooth, quiet continuous autofocus. Inspired by EOS technology, the EOS M leverages these core technologies and distills them down to provide outstanding video capture capabilities while retaining high-quality still image capture. When shooting still images, the EOS M camera’s 18-megapixel APS-C-sized CMOS image sensor provides a shallow depth of field, incredible low-light image quality and a wide dynamic range to capture rich gradation and detail. This new addition to the EOS family offers a great solution to videographers and photographers of all levels, with two new lenses designed specifically for Canon’s new camera format – the EF-M 22mm f/2 STM kit lens and the optional EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens– and the ability to use the full line of Canon EF and EF-S lenses through the optional Mount Adapter EF-EOS M.
“The EOS M includes a unique feature set making it an ideal movie-making tool, while also offering incredible still image quality on its APS-C-sized CMOS sensor. The camera’s size, image quality, advanced video capabilities and the versatility of Canon’s full lineup of lenses make the EOS M another great option to help our customers record and capture their creative vision,” said Yuichi Ishizuka, executive vice president and general manager, Imaging Technologies & Communications Group, Canon U.S.A.

The EOS M utilizes Canon’s Hybrid CMOS AF system to deliver fast autofocus speed for both video and photos. The Hybrid CMOS AF system truly shines when shooting video with EOS Full HD Movie mode including Movie Servo AF for continuous autofocus and tracking of moving subjects. The Hybrid CMOS AF system is located on the CMOS sensor itself and combines phase-difference AF and contrast AF to achieve operational stability, speed and precision. The Movie Servo AF function on the EOS M is enabled by default which keeps images on the rear screen in constant focus, even before the shutter is pressed. This continual focus makes for sharp video capture in a snap or to help reduce shutter lag due to focusing when still images want to be shot. The camera employs three AF methods for video and photos, Face Detection & Tracking AF, Multi-Point AF for automatic selection and Single-Point AF, where users select one of 31 AF points. Through the camera’s touch-panel operation, subject recognition and tracking is engaged at the touch of a finger, allowing users to track subjects accurately and focus on intended subjects with ease. In addition to subject tracking, the touch-panel LCD allows for simple, intuitive operation, menu navigation and touch features making it easy to shoot video and photos.
Thanks to Canon’s new Stepping Motor (STM) technology, when using either of the newly announced M-series lenses – the EF-M 22mm f/2 STM kit lens or the optional EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens – the AF system remains silent, helping ensure users only capture the sound of the scene being recorded. The EOS M also features manual audio level control to 64 levels, a built-in stereo microphone, which includes a wind filter and an attenuator function to reduce audio distortion in extra loud situations. The EOS M records MPEG-4 AVC H.264 video as an .MOV file in a range of NTSC and PAL professional frame rates, including 1080p Full HD video at 30p (29.97), 24p (23.976) and 25p, 720p HD video at 60p (59.94) or 50p and Standard Definition video at 30p (29.97) or 25p.
In addition to the creativity afforded by over 70 compatible lenses, the EOS M also includes Picture Style settings – including custom Picture Styles – when shooting video, allowing users to adjust color settings the same as when shooting still images. The camera also includes Canon’s Video Snapshot mode for an easy way to record and create a fun highlight reel that can be easily shared. Video Snapshot mode combines a series of short video clips into a single file, all in-camera. Through the camera’s touch-screen controls users can delete, cut or re-order the clips in-camera for quick and easy editing.
