And yet you continue to hang out in a thread you claimed you had no interest in. Seems to me you either have some interest in this camera or you just like to argue. Which is it?

Ummm...maybe because they are not cameras. The EOS-M is a Canon camera that can mount EF and EFS lens. The only difference is it has no mirror. Wake up...that is the future.

There is always someone protecting something most people don't care about, not new here. following your logic if they will stick FF sensor from 1DX into this body it would be 1DX?
No, that is not the logical extension of my argument. You said the EOS-M had P&S quality...implying cameras with the same sensor will also have P&S quality...Implying the 7D had P&S image quality as pointed out by another poster. The correct answer is that and EOS-M with the 1DX sensor would in fact have image quality comparable to a 1dX not a point and shoot.

While you are busy making screen shots... you might also want to make one of the title of the forum "Canon Mount SLRs." The M isn't an SLR. (Though it is an interesting question.)
And my main reason for pointing out that this isn't the forum intended for discussing such cameras was not necessarily to get into the question of whether or not it should be a topic here, but to answer the specific point about "buzz" in forums.

The title of this forum CLEARLY states CANON SLR. Nowhere is there mention of the DSLR and therefore all forum posts must, and I mean MUST, relate only to film bodied cameras. Any mention of a camera with a digital sensor simply does not belong so sayeth the gods of the internet!

Title of the forum has little to do with it. I think there is a lot of "snobbish" reaction to mirrorless cameras as they do approach the typical size of P&S...but they are very much more capable as can be seen by the OMD system. I truly believe the future cameras will be mirrorless and we'll see this forum dominated by them in the near future. The wave has begun and even though both Canon and Nikon don't like it, DSLR systems of today will become very much niche cameras in the near future.
I think talking and educating ourselves right here in this forum is where this type of discussion belongs.
Internet chaos....bzz.zzt...bzz.zzt...does not compute...bzz.zzt...bzz.zzt...title and content conflict...bzz.zzt...bzz.zzt...what to do...bzz.zzt....bzz.zzt...

The EOS M was on my serious to look at list, I did, it has no wired remote capability, with my handicap I require one to properly access the shutter button...see member name for explanation...so Canon you suck, the G12 does rock tho

No doubt! Arguing about photo gear and nomenclature on the internet is serious business and we need to be allowed to hash this stuff out.

The 'D' in 'DSLR' just adds additional information, it doesn't exclude a digital SLR from the larger group of SLR's. Quite different than saying a camera with no mirror or optical prism is an SLR. I personally don't care where it is discussed but if people are going to be nitpicking on wording and meanings, lets at least use the correct terms.

Anyone know what percentage of Canon revenues come from photographic equipment sales? Just wondering, as their stock as been climbing recently. Probably has nothing to do with their cameras / lenses, although I believe Peter's purchases in the last 12 months probably accounted for a few percentage points.
