Why not? Nobody is forcing you to purchase one. If the AF is as fast as they say, it might be a nice walk around camera.

Let's better hope that Canon learns from the success of Fuji X100 and the upcoming just leaked Fuji X interchangeable mirrorless camera with hybrid viewfinder.

I think canon will rework the g12 into a high end P&S , not sure if they will go with a lens mount/evil kind of thing tho.

Fuji X ILC looks ace! I'll faint at the price I think.

Company resources that go into research and development of a camera like that might take resources away from development of DSLRs and lenses. Skilled designers and engineers have limited time to spread around.

Chuck Westfall's interview on DPReview hinted at changes and possible sensor size improvement in the G-series to better compete with the M4/3 and Nex APS-C success. I hope they look there and not to Nikon's novelty.

I mean regarding the cheesy little 2.7X magnification sensor. I'd rather have an S100.

Otherwise, who knows if Canon will make a Nex-type 1.6X sensor mirrorless? Why not.

Just not that annoying little Nikon 1!

You may have come across a Nikon 1 V1 review that compares Nikon 1V1 camera with other similar products. Almost all such reviews unanimously conclude that this camera is far superior to all the other competitive products. This verdict certainly has a basis. Firstly, the most important feature of this camera is that it accepts interchangeable lenses. Though this facility is available in a few other cameras also, the fact that Nikon 1V1 has many other great and innovative features tilts the scales in its favor. Another benefit is that the slow contrast detection antifocus systems that are commonly used...Show more →

A Canon V1 would transform my 100-400 into a 270-1080.

The GX1 was their alternative. I don't think we'll see an EVIL camera until it's apparent that mirrorless is the way of the future.

The CAnon GX1 is the canon version of Nikon-1.
Its a bigger body, but a smaller kit (the lens is retractable).

I like my EP3 for P&S use and the pancake prime makes it very petite. However, fitted with a telezoom and EVF it's really awkward to hold steady (too small grip) and not significantly more portable than a Pentax K series or Rebel. My fingers ache trying to hand on to that darn thing. I think mirrorless will fill a niche of the high-end P&S and low-end DSLR. They would need to be a lot larger to seriously handle fast long lenses.

With all the excitement about mirrorless, and the disappointment of some over the G1X not being interchangeable lenses, I wouldn't be surprised to see Canon be the first on the block with full frame mirrorless adapted to the EF lenses (maybe adapters for FD, Leica, etc). This would be quite a coup for Canon and they could avoid getting distracted into a whole new system of lenses like Nikon, or having the M4/3 lens makers getting too much access to Canon's money-making lenses.

That seems the simplest and most elegant solution: FF mirrorless, using existing lens production.

I am a Canon user and was today in a camera store playing with the Nikon V1. It`s a great fast camera. Ideal for street and travel photography.
I hope Canon will bring something similar. Mirrorless cameras are the way to go.

Why would we want to see the same product?
If the Nikon suits your needs then buy it. I don't know why anyone would want something similar.
I'm all for a EVIL Canon, but not a re-hash of what others have done.
Hopefully Canon will come out with something different and worth our money.
The speed of the Nikon, the IQ of the Fuji, and a new more ergonomic form factor would be nice.

Except it does not have interchangeable lenses, so it will not accept existing Canon DSLR lenses.

The Nikon V1 takes interchangeable Nikon 1 lenses, plus existing Nikon DSLR lenses. That is a pretty big plus for a lot of Nikon owners.

From what I've seen I don't think I would worry if canon did a v1 type body. It gets a very decent write up
The preference if I was in the market for one would be 1.5crop or maybe 2x . But considering the probable need for a new mount anyway then I could say that 2.5-3x crop wouldn't exactly break the deal for me.
It would only really be a family do anything cam anyway.

The only cam to try and keep the same mount as the DSLR is the new Pentax . And that looks no smaller in depth than the K5 so I see that as pretty pointless.

Plus it is probably among the top ten ugliest cameras ever designed! A real bow-wow!

Don't need it. After all, you're not going to use your EF lenses on it, are you?

For some applications, yes. That's why I have a Fujifilm X100 and have ordered a Fujifilm X-Pro1 with three XF lenses.

Canon does great DSLR. Canon also does great ultra-compact (ELPH 310HS is sweet). Isn't that enough for you?

Why not? 1620mm would come in handy, and cheaper than a 800mm plus 2x TC:
