Have you ever considered, although I admit it would be a radical thought, that you might not be the target market for the M10?

There is no valid target for the M10 as it's inferior to any mirrorless released for that price in the last 2 years.

All of them are either faster have better IQ(in most cases both) or in case of the GM-series a much smaller footprint.

better IQ is very arguable because part of the workflow is the kit lens. of course, you think that .5EV on DR is going to be "better IQ" even though it really isn't.. and I doubt someone is REALLY going to notice the difference of 4.3 fps and 5.0 fps - or care at this level.  heck 16 versus 18mp probably makes more of a difference at this level than DxO benchmarks if you actually use a braincell and think about it.

and the GM series doesn't have a flip screen which for the target market is probably alot more handy then a .5 EV point on DxO.

so like meland stated.. may be radical .. but how about you actually use that brain of yours for something more than trolling and think about the target market of an average entry level user, younger and female (which canon is obviously targeting in japan and also usa) and explain again why DxO and what you are wishing is actually important.

the one comment on footprint and size though is important - the GM series is certainly the winner for size overall, but it really hasn't been selling well domestically either for some reason.
