Even though the M10 features the same 18-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor its relative, it does come with an improved Digic 6 image processor

Now that Canon has figured out how to make a good enough mirrorless camera, the manufacturer is adding another model to its product lineup.

The EOS M10 is a compact shooter designed for the entry-level market. In terms of specs, it is slightly similar to the M2 from 2013, which Canon introduced only in Japan.

Even though the M10 features the same 18-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor its relative, it does come with an improved Digic 6 image processor -- the one also found on the higher-end EOS M3, which is Canon's best mirrorless camera to date.

That aside, there's NFC and WiFi for controlling the camera and sharing photos via an app, in addition to a 4.6 fps continuous shooting mode and Hybrid CMOS AF II (49-point) autofocus system.

The M2 is capable of shooting 1080p video at 24, 25 and 30 fps, or 720p at 50 or 60 fps, and you'll be able to view videos on a rear 3-inch, tilting LCD.

The camera will be available in November for $600, complete with an 18-55mm lens and your choice of a black or white camera body.
