If you're going to do an EVF, it might as well be built in. Comparing the M3 with the EVF mounted to the "sketches" of the M5, the built in EVF produces a much smaller overall package. The built in EVF looks to add only half as much volume to the camera as the removable EVF. Also, the built in EVF is nice and smooth with no awkward protrusions. With the add on EVF, you're in constant fear of snagging something and tearing it from the camera.

It looks like Canon is moving to two basic designs; the M, M2, and M10 series with no external viewfinder and built to be as small as reasonably possible. The second option is the up spec' higher end model with a built in viewfinder. My guess is that the "middle ground" M3 is a dead end.

I think with news about the EVF-DC2 ( http://www.canonrumors.com/canon-evf-dc2-likely-coming-soon/ ) it's actually likely the next M10 will work with this viewfinder.
