I think most of us can agree that the M10 is not going to be our next camera. I am curious how many of the DPR crowd believe (or are willing to admit they believe) that the M10 is likely to turn a profit for Canon.

Well, it's a combination of modern power shot features and old M series camera components. Can't be too expensive to develop can it?

It's probably gonna do fine. If they ignore or semi-ignore the 'bad' markets, there shouldn't be much of an issue to make a profit globally.

Objectively though I can't really see why anyone would pick an M10 over a m43. The IQ difference is small enough to not be a consideration for non-enthusiasts and in terms of usability and responsiveness, the m43s are way ahead, esp. in terms of AF (based on the assumption that the M10 won't be better than the M3).
