Canon has now reached NX300 (not yet NX500)

Somewhere, years ago, i read that NX1 was developed with Canon 5D in mind (the so called Classic or Mark I ), the idea was to produce a crop sensor that could compete with that FF camera. And they did it. MarkII has a small edge in iso but NX1 has a small edge in DR. Then thay push all the specs and feature as far they could go and added adequate lenses . They push on everything but marketing, in fact.

If you look at ISO performance, since NX1 there is no crop sensor with a noticeable difference in better. I think that Samsung was very close to a limit of the APSC sensor (unless you introduce something new in the receipe).

We, here, have discussed many times "where to go from NX", EOS M was my long term option but, as many, i did not expect that the 2017 would be year of the surpass.

M6 is a product for the EOS M audience, not for the NX audience. Not yet. Do not expect to push features to gain a market that they already own.

But if you ask me, the real discussion here is the lens development. Canon will (luckyly) come out with a new EOSM lens every year or two (and that is already good, they are pretty busy, also upgrading lenses for the other 2 system etc etc). It will take time to have a complete lineup. Yes, you can adapt EF and EFS lenses, but it is not the same.

In that case Canon had better drop the EF moniker..... but it actually is the same.

A mirrorless system needs its own lenses to work at its best. And i dont think that the equivalent of the 16-50 2.0-2.8 is coming any soon.

That much is true, they're glued to anemic 6.3 long end for EF-M lenses.
