Prior to today, Canon was the last major holdout in regards to releasing a compact, mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera. Detailed in our complete preview of the newly announced camera, the EOS M includes features such as an 18-megapixel CMOS sensor,
3.0-inch LCD touchscreen and full HD 1080p Movie mode for recording video.
At the moment, Canon has announced two lenses for the new camera; a 22mm pancake prime lens that will be bundled with the kit later this year and a second lens with a 18-55mm zoom that will require a separate purchase at launch.
