Haha Wim, that is a bit of a bait and switch, 1st stating "...as their M-series mount is too narrow for FF. At least they said so themselves" and then a next post making it into "Regarding Canon not creating a FF mirrorless:"  :ph34r: 

 

Anywho, facts remain that the E-mount is a tad small for a mirrorless FF mount with a ~18mm flange distance, and that yet Sony has built an entire FF line around it, and the EOS M has a slightly wider mount and same flange distance.

 

So Sony looks at it one way (so what if it is a less than optimal mount we started with, we will make it work warts and all), and possibly Canon another way (not ideal so lets make a wider mount).

 

There is no reason what so ever to think Canon would do something stupid like making a mirrorless camera with mirrorbox sans mirror. Canon, after all, sees the primary reason for mirrorless to be smaller and lighter. Even if they would not want to use the EOS M mount, they can do the same thing they do with EOS M (make an appropriate mount for mirrorless FF lenses, and an adapter for EOS lens use).
