I wonder how this will affect Nikon's V1/J1 using a tiny sensor.
I see that camera being further marginalized by management's decisions to use a small sensor when other ML cameras are going with larger sensors.
I have an OMD and love the camera, what that camera has, is lots of lenses. Canon got it right with this camera, some native lenses, an adapter to use existing glass and the sensor size won't really impede photographers that much. I see the lack of EVF as a move to differentiate the ML camera from the DSLR.
I personally use the EVF 99% of the time with my OMD, so while this camera on paper looks great, I'd say lack of an EVF is a big thing (for me). Don't get me wrong, I'm not about to dump my OMD for the Eos m, but I can appreciate the nice design and competition.

This is more like the PEN series than the OM-D. I'm waiting for the OM-D equivalent before making any decisions.
Ummm...I'm looking at the EVF on my X100 and X-Pro1 right now.
You can switch between the OVF and EVF, good sir.
Yes, I just saw that.
Oh well. Back to shooting my X100 through the whats-it-called hole on the left side.
I think that it is called "the-eye-of-the-artist" among those who do not frequent forums like this.
I'm sorry but you just quoted someone reading specs which I already read.
Glass doesn't matter in an adapter, it's the millimeters difference and I have not seen any hands on (reviews don't exist on a not yet shipping product) with the adaptor.
Why doesn't canon talk about it?
All the adaptor is doing is spacing an EF or EF-s lens to the correct distance from the sensor. It does not act as a macro spacer or anything like that.
Agreed, I like the pen and panasonic's GF series, but in both cases they lacked the EVF. When the OM-D was announced it had everything I wanted, lots of lenses, good EVF, nicely sized sensor, fast AF, and IBIS.
The Canon looks really good and given the availability of canon glass that can be used with an adapter, I'd say for the most part canon did a good job. I've seen some early hands on stuff that stated its a bit of a slow camera. I'm not sure if that's because they handled pre-production units or what.
