A couple of weeks ago Ken Rockwell said that the Canon EOS-M is the first professional mirrorless camera. Now we will hear the exact opposite form another blogger :) Kirk Tuck says that “Canon missed the whole point”. He writes that the EOS-M “is basically a re-do of their boring G1X bloated compact camera but without the swivel screen, without the pop-up flash and without even the benefit of a creepy, point 85 plastic optical viewfinder. So you actually get a lot less stuff but the same performance for the same basic price point? And this makes sense to rational photographers? How?“

You can choose who is right. I think Canon released a nice camera, at least it’s a lot more competitive than the Nikon 1 if you consider the price-features balance. But I am sure Nikon is ready to answer them soon!
