Here are major points of an interview with Canon's managing director held on Jan.24 at CES, Las Vegas: (interviewer Honda)
1. mirrorless models: more variations (models) will be introduced in due course. Less battery consumption makes it possible to downsize bodies.
2. CMOS sensor: R&D is made for adding special devices to the sensor so that images can be processed in the sensor. By doing this, both ultra-tele & ultra-wide lenses do not have to be that big. This in turn makes those lenses smaller, lighter in weight and less expensive.
3. The successor to EOS7D will be announced not that far away. Smaller body is a keyword here too.
I added many words while recapitulating the interview, so that could result in some differences from what he implied. I made them clearer by adding words.
