Also Canon could make an OMD alike EOS-M camera? Coming late 2014.

Dcwatch (google translation here) posted the content of an interview with Canon director MR. Makoto. Based on what the google translation tool provides us we have the following information:

– New EOS-M with built-in EVF could arrive the second half of 2014 .

– EOS-M focus is on keeping size down

– One key aspect on future mirrorless cameras is the hybrid still+video performance

– There will be new lenses for the EOS-M system

– Canon is also “studying” the possibility to make more semi pro or pro mirrorless cameras (Whatever that means…LOL).

For now Canon didn’t take the mirrorless camera world very seriously. But I am pretty sure this is going to change in 2014. The problems for them is. Will they be able to catch up with the best cameras like the Fuji X-E2, Sony A7r and Olympus E-M1?
