I don't know about anybody else. I do know the reason why I didn't get the EOS-M is because it's not better than other mirrorless cameras, one of which I already own. If Canon had come out with this thing a few years back I'd have been all over it. But Canon was late to the party and I left with another brand, and at this point it doesn't offer anything compelling enough to make me want to buy it.
That's more or less where I am... with this particular body, for my particular needs, at this particular point.
What I like about the EOS-M camera/concept: A larger APS-C sensor that is capable of excellent image quality, low light performance, the smaller form factor, the ability to use small and high quality lenses, the potential for further refinement in the line.
What leaves me less enthusiastic: Speed of operation (esp. AF) not up to what I need for how I would use the camera - most likely for things such as street photography, a bit early still in the development cycle for lenses I would want, physical control system could be a bit more robust/sophisticated.
Again, I'm very intrigued by the developments in the market category that this camera fits into, especially when it comes to cameras that are more functionally capable. The larger sensor can give the M(-series?) some advantages over other small format mirrorless competitors, but for me I'll still need more functionality. I think that will come... eventually.
Take care,
Dan
