Yep. That's the main thing. Olympus, Fuji & Sony can sell $2000+ weather sealed mirrorless bodies because they have native lenses to match. I don't think the EF/EF-M adapter is weathersealed so there would be no point in Canon releasing that level of body unless they release some lenses on the level of the Olympus 12-40 or 12-100. The EF-M lenses are probably optically just as good but they're just slow (in the case of the zooms) and not built for that market. But from the samples released so far the M5 will outclass the EM1-II for image quality, at half the price.

The main point I take from the recently posted Olympus Iceland samples is why bother with weather sealing when water on a lens ruins pictures anyway.
