Finally - after a slew of leaks and rumors - Canon's first mirrorless interchangeable lens camera has arrived with the Canon EOS-M . It's hard to believe 4 years have already passed since the introduction of the first mirrorless cameras, but Canon has joined to the party, more than fashionably late,...

The EOS M is Canon's first foray into the mirrorless camera market that is currently dominated by Micro Four Thirds models from Olympus and Panasonic, along with Sony's NEX lineup.

We do not know whether it has been spurred by the competition or sheer market demand, but Canon has now plunged into the mirrorless DSLR camera segment. And their first salvo in this category is the EOS M, a sleek camera that frankly is a bit expensive but does deliver crisp shots.
