Larger and more advanced lenses and bodies?

Interesting conversation, but not surprising, since Canon is the king of market segmentation. It appears that now they want to be the king of mount segmentation.

I think it is a smart move by them. I think it should put to rest the talk about the death of the EOS-M line.'

It should also put to rest any talk of larger and more advanced lenses and bodies.

Do you mean the talk of APS-C R bodies and lenses?

I'm sort of a contrarian about the M on DPReview.  I like the bodies and lenses just the way they are.  I don't yearn for fast M lenses.  I appreciate the trade off of slowness in order to keep M lenses small and light.  Beefed up with optimized computer aided lens design so that M lenses are good (if they can get past good copy/bad copy); way better than "kit" quality lenses were 10-15 years ago.

If better means FF and FF priced lenses, then so be it.
