Overview
Canon has unveiled the EOS M2 in Japan. EOS M2 is the latest version of Canon mirrorless series. EOS M2 features a new Hybrid CMOS II sensor, as seen in the EOS 100D / SL1 and is slightly smaller in size (by 8%) than EOS M. However no Dual Pixel AF like EOS 70D. EOSM2 will be available in mid december, either black or white and appears to be sold in Japan & Asian Market only (No US & European Announcement yet)
