Canon still wondering about mirrorless cameras
"Canon Camera Business Unit, Minister Niihori Kenichi, recently got asked about the possibility of Canon to launch mirrorless camera system following the success of micro four third system in Japan market. He said that Canon has no plan yet to develop a new system and still discussing whether this mirrorless system is just a hype / temporary phenomenon or the real thing." (Fengniao via Radiantlite)
Just a reminder what an unnamed Canon officer said for the the Japanese trade journal Pen News Weekly a month ago:
“Canon is proceeding with the development of a mirror-less interchangeable lens camera to compete against models launched by Panasonic, Olympus and Samsung.”
Canon (and Nikon) cannot afford not to take part of the EVIL market share.
