Re: Will Canon make a profit (globally) on the M10?

I think the sales volume would be significantly better priced at $400 with a decent zoom. It would probably displace some of the point and shoot sales for people who have maybe owned a few P&S cameras and want something more "creative", though.

Right now I'd just suggest anyone buy an M3 kit instead. In the age of smartphone photography, telephotos are less useful day to day for what most people think of when they want to take a photo. Maybe swap the kit lenses between the M10 and M3, since most M3 owners I know aren't using EF-M glass for anything important (I now carry no EF-M lenses with my M3 bag).

Given the firesale pricing on the M/M2, this seems more reasonable than not.
