In my mind the market will decide the fate of the M system.  If Canon's M produces significant profits worldwide then the M will survive.  If not it won't.  A factor in its success is what will or is the competition to the M....small, light, inexpensive dsrl like camera and how well Canon markets and supports the M going forward.  It isn't up to us as the future success of the M, but the market and Canon no matter how much we love the camera.

My impression so far in the USA Canon is not marketing the system to much extent.  If they want the system to be a success worldwide that has to change.  If Canon gives the impression it is a dead end camera it will be.

We will see in the coming months by Canon's actions, not words if they truly believe the M system can be a winner for them in the long run.  So far I have my doubts.  Personally, I believe there is not much competition and Canon's M can be a winner financially.
