Canon will be having a launch event tomorrow titled: “The Arrival of a New Milestone”. Many are speculating that Canon will finally be launching its first mirrorless interchangeable lens camera.
Okay, so I was both right and wrong. Canon has indeed launched its first mirrorless interchangeable lens camera – the EOS M. But it looks nowhere like the Hansa – it doesn’t even look retro.
But as a consolation, Canon did give each attendee a nice Hanso scale model (1:1.4).
To find out the details of the EOS M, check out the Livecast for the launch event here.
I received Canon’s invitation to tomorrow’s event some two weeks back.
It said simply, “Technological innovation has always formed the core of Canon’s pursuits. Come 23 July, Canon once again reaches a new milestone. On behalf of Canon Singapore, we cordially invite you to join us in this special occasion. ”
Stay tuned and check back tomorrow to find out.

Wah, the Hansa model looks really nice. Guess it’s the next best thing to owning the original :-p~~~
Eng Hock, you can turn the dials okay. And if you turn the lenses, it’ll extend and retract. Salivating already? Heh heh!
Wah lau eh! I’m drowning in drool…
No need to drool. I’ll give you as your birthday present next Thursday okay 😉
