This just shows your inexperience with Mirrorless/CSC or your bias toward Canon. Neither shines a positive light on you..

Not entirely sure but your review of the EOS-M probably ought to have been posted on the EOS-M forum because it's not a PowerShot camera.

Not sure what you mean. This is exactly where it should be: in the EOS M reviews category.

Personally, I've resisted buying any EOS-M lenses and prefer to use mine with EF lenses.

Then you're kind of missing the point of the camera. If you want the best image quality and control then you buy the larger, more expensive bodies to go with the larger more expensive lenses.

You don't buy a tiny ~500$ camera to use with large, bulky lenses that cost more than twice as much as the camera itself. That'd be pretty stupid.

The EF-M lenses are fantastic for their size and cost. Both of which (size and cost) are the very reasons to buy into the system in the first place.

+1

but beware. making sensible reviews and comments in the eos M subpage is not recommended. They might try to get a moderator on your ass for bashing when doing that.
