I've just saw this on blogs, not much details on specs, but it seems it will have a new "EF-M" mount. The lens is interesting and observing it's focal lenght I would guess the sensor is APS-C (22mm * 1.6 = 35,2mm).
There's not a view from the back of the camera, so it's not certain that it will have a electronic VF, but judging the size of the camera I would say there's not any kind of VF.
It seems Canon is following the same steps of Olympus and Panasonic with their first PENs and GFs, let's see how this evolve.
there has been a lot of speculation, assumption and straight viral marketing in many forums about this camera.
it remains to be seen what canon is trying to do here, and to whom they are aiming this at. from the leaked pictures this looks VERY casual, consumer low end like the panasonic GF5 i just bought for my 62 year old mother.
the camera will need to launch with both an extensive and high quality set of lenses that are readily avaiable and not more expensive than the m43 system, but also a reasonably priced adapter so you can use EF mount lenses while retaining pdaf (unless the camera trumps everyone and has pdaf, but from the design shown in the images i seriously doubt this)

have you seen the zeiss 24? you may as well use a full sized DSLR
E mount lenses are far too large. why can olympus put out a 45mm 1.8 and an upcoming 75mm 1.8 and have them be stupid small (well until you put a hood on) and their excellent 12mm look like something from leica M3 days but sony has to make E mount stuff so bloody massive? have you seen the panasonic 25mm f/1.4 for m43?

I kind of made the assumption that they would just use the hybrid AF system and sensor that's in the 650d/4Ti. I think Canon has seen that Nikon's hybrid autofocus system was probably a good idea but not the one of putting in a smaller 1" sensor.

The specs are what I was expecting except I was hoping for a sensor-based stabilization.
I hope they also release a lens roadmap tomorrow.
They also seem to be in-line with what I was expecting. It seems like they're using the sensor and AF system from 4Ti/650D. Canon and Nikon aren't known for including IBIS. I would prefer if there was IBIS since prime lenses usually don't usually have it.
if panasonic can do it, surely canon can. btw that pancake zoom is actually pretty good.
The GF1 came bundled with the 20/1.7, the GF2 and GF3 with the 14/2.5 (GF3 currently), the GX1 can be had bundled with any of the 4 Panasonic primes including the 14/2.5 and 20/1.7 pancakes, The E-P1, E-P2 and E-P3 all offered the 17/2.8 as a kit lens (the E-P3 doing so currently).
The G5 and GF5 are the only Panasonic bodies to launch with the X pancake zoom but not a pancake prime kit.

I am 100% (give or take a little) EF-s lenses will work too. Even if it was a funky adapter with mirror (for which there is no reason, since the camera itself has PDAF) then it would only be an APS-C mirror, so nothing to interfere with EF-s lenses.
Nah, I think it's safe to assume that the adapter works with EF-S lenses as well. EF lenses fit on Canon's APS-C cameras too.
I wonder how the AF speed of EF(-S) lenses on the EOS-M will be though...
