Leaked EOS M photo looks like Canon's long-awaited mirrorless camera

At this point, after strong hints and even patents, a Canon mirrorless camera is all but certain. The only question is what it'll look like and how it'll compete with Micro Four Thirds shooters like the Olympus E-M5 and Samsung's APS-C NX range. The image above may at least help to answer the first part of that question, as it shows an unknown model called the EOS M which indeed looks every inch like a thin and lightweight mirrorless ILC. The image was reportedly leaked by retail sites and captured by Digicame-info, while MirrorlessRumors notes the presence of an entirely new mount: the EF-M -- which may mean that Canon is moving away from the inbetween sensor size it used in the G1 X and possibly towards full APS-C. An official announcement is expected on July 23rd, so we'll know plenty more then.
