Yesterday, Canon's Masaya Maeda, head of tge Image Communication Products division, announced that Canon is currently working on smaller versions of their SLR cameras. The move is based off of Canon's long known strategy, wait until they do it, then do it better. These new cameras will directly compete with the mirrorless setup of Olympus and Panasonic, etc. Maeda did not, however, mention if the camera would in-fact be mirrorless. It is unlikely as Canon is very good about sticking to their formula. Maeda added in a Reuters interview:
"It's not a question of whether or not you have a mirror. There is a consumer need for good-quality cameras to be made smaller. We will meet that need."
