Won’t hurt Panasonic at all. Panasonic uses Leica lenses which are great. Having said that and owning a Panasonic I would definitely buy one of these. I like my Canon dSLR cameras. For film I still use Nikon. Oh for Wayan’s statement. I have been a professional for 40 plus years and my 35mm cameras all are less expensive. Meduim format is a different story.

An aps-c based evil camera that utilizes ef mount lenses would be a terrific
addition to the Canon product line. They have the body (G10/Gll), the sensors and software to make a dynamite product – if they have the will. It would canibalize sales of digital rebel and higher end powershot lines, but make a difficult entry level obstacle for Nikon (unless Nikon beats them to it.)
A little stiff competition for the new Leica X1 would be welcome with a short barrel pancake “normal” lens for pocket shooters. Great idea…which means
the marketing gurus at Canon will probably pass.

Anyone who uses a camera worth less than $5 grand is an amateur.

>>> This is very good news but it better be APS-C size.

Totally Agree. I’d love to see an APS-C EVIL from Canon with their SLR lens mount. Better yet, I’d like to see a full frame EVIL about the size of a Yashica T4 with the EF/EF-S lens mount.

Canon should stick to photocopiers.

that seems like a replacement to the 1000d series where photographers look for something small and some what pocketable.

Hmmm, given their position in the industry, do you believe that Canon feels any need to spend a bucket full of money to develop a new system? I’m not sure that Olympus or Panasonic pose any threat to Canon as together they appear to have gone after a particular niche(or develop the niche) based upon the 4/3 sensor.

That said, I agree with Hamza to some extent in that Canon would worry Olympus and Panasonic.

Anyone: do Olympus and Panasonic hold some patent/copyrights related to the 4/3 format? If so, that might preclude Canon from developing a directly competing 4/3 format system of their own.

Well, to be exact, Samsung is also a player on the micro-field with their NX series.

well – agreed about everything but the build – the Canon stuff feels plasticy too, even DSLRs are made of cheap plastic so I have no idea how they would make well-build and cheap EVIL.
