[...] WIth such advanced cameras on cellphones and so many cheaper offerings in "travel compact zoom and superzoom" categories, I just don't understand why would someone spend that much money on such an ICL cam with selfies/basic travel photography in mind. I know this market exists, but I just admit that I don't understand the reasoning behind it. So going back to the original post, I don't think this cam will be popular at MSRP regardless of the market. Canon will likely still make money on it though. Not due to popularity or reasonable price, but simply due to low production cost.
That market actually doesn't exist, and yet the Japanese keep on pushing it. People who want a better camera for selfies get a GoPro, not some boxy underperforming POS camera. Olympus tried with the E-PL7 and failed (some speculate that it's the end for the PEN as we know it). Sony tried with the A5100 and failed (the A6000 has been sold in much, much larger numbers, at least in Amazon). Canon? If experience is any guide... lemmings will be lemmings (even if the story's apocryphal).
and the USA market for mirrorless is what exactly? it's all failed in NA.
and in reality .. who cares if it fails in one market that really is such a small niche for MILC's.
Agreed.
I live in Japan and mirrorless is everywhere. Most people here just want better than smartphone photography but the same ease of use. I have yet to see one Go Pro camera out and about here. Different markets. I have not been in the states for a number of years but based on what I have read most people there are quite satisfied with their smartphones as a main camera.
