Cheap mirrorless: is the M10 a good choice?

A camera that punches far above its weight...

I originally got the M10 and 15-45 for "da Misses" awhile back.  Heck, I only paid somewhere in the vicinity of $369 USD off of eBay and it came with a US warranty.  But after awhile, it was obvious that like so many other folks who like convenience, my wife kept using her smart phone to take photos - sigh.  So I took the M10 back.

One of the things that immediately caught my eye about the M10 when it arrived was the sleek and simple appearance of the camera.  It is very easy to operate and feels really good in the hand.  I purchased a nice brown bottom only camera case for it and the M10 looks really good with it on.

The images it can capture are superb, and as much as I hate to say this, even though it still has only an 18 MP sensor, it sometimes exhibits better IQ than the M3 - now go figure.  The 15-45 lens that came with it is actually very good - slightly better in sharpness than the three 18-55's that I have (those came with their respective cameras).  So although the M10 is a simple camera - yet has all the bells and whistles within the menu structure - its IQ is second to none within the M series of cameras.  And at the prices you can get them for now - in particular, on eBay in various colors - one would be remiss in not getting one.
