Nice post. While I was reading, it made me think back years to when Olympus brought out their revolutionary OM SLRs which were significantly smaller than the norm. Many photographers, myself included, as well as newspaper photo departments, jumped at the chance to lessen the weight of their camera systems.

But in the end, I think most of us went back to our heavy Nikon F1's and looking back, it was probably because of the range of professional lenses and accessories that were available. Not a great analogy to the Canon M system but I did acquire it because of the light weight and if I leave the system it might well be because the system is not providing me with the range of lenses I want in the future.

I think a camera company would do well bringing out a system tailored for lightness. Call it the "mountain" camera and advertise the heck out of it to a target audience of seniors and back country photographers.

Sort of like Oscar Barnack perhaps?
