I have more then a passing interest in Canon getting serious about mirrorless. And year after year I wait in vain. So I have (more then) satisfied myself with at first a NEX 7, then a NEX 7 with Speedbooster, and now an A7. Couldnt be happier.<br>

Hopefully one day we will see a modern mirrorless, digital version of the venerable Canon A-1 complete with a new set of small Canon prime lenses. You will also have the option to buy (from Canon) a mechanical/electronic adapter for their old FD lenses that allows full functionality with all that wonderful old glass. Sounds like a pipe dream right? </p>
<p>Unfortunately that would take a certain set of brass balls that Canon seemingly at the moment does not posses. The M series, in my opinion, is little piece of snot from a once great imaging company that at one time had their finger on the pulse of photography. Today innovation is a dirty word at Canon.</p>
