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.

Couldn't agree more. I love the M system because it's small first and foremost, and pretty good quality; I can take it pretty much everywhere, and have a very competent kit. I don't want bigger bodies, I don't want faster lenses, I want compact and respectable. If I can carry my full frame kit, I will, but the M gives me options I've never had before - well, since my (film) Leica CL, anyway.
