Funny you should mention the EOS-M

Come to think of it, for a long time I laughed at Canon when they released the M - thinking, "it's kind of late to the game, isn't it?"  But then a year ago I saw a deal on the M with 18-55 lens for $250 and I pounced on it, thinking, "what the hell...I can always sell it again, if need be."

Well, after the firmware update (speeding up the AF), I was very surprised at the quality of the IQ I was getting.  So yes, being the camera whore that I've been since 1998, it too is staying in my collection as it has surprised me many times with the quality of the images I've attained with it.  Will be curious to see what Canon will now do in the mirrorless market.  Word has it they are going to now focus a huge effort (and they have tremendous R&D and manufacturing capabilities) on the expansion of the M line.  Announcements should begin in January/February of the upcoming year.

I just look at all of this as "good for us" because competition means better prices and more choices.  It forces manufacturers to rethink what they've been doing.
