Body can be improved, but EF-M lenses are faultless
2

Whilst it is easy to pick fault in the EOS M body - such as the slow focusing or the lack of physical controls - the same cant be said of the EF-M lenses which all have superb optics, build quality and features which belie their diminutive size. They are all a good investment which hopefully will be matched by a more competent body in future.

Yes there is room for improvement  but meanwhile there is still mich to like about the current EOS M body. The diminutive size for an APS-C camera, the touchscreen interface, not to mention the IQ and low light performance that an APS-C sensor delivers.
