Canon focuses design and marketing based on what motivates people to buy product and could probably care less whether or not a professional or well-heeled hobbyist buys the EOS-M a few months from now when they hit the stores. They aren\'t the target market any more than Alien Bees in day-glo colors are marketed to pros.
But if the history of digital is any indication a year or two from now those protesting the loudest about all the shortcomings will likely have one in the one in bag as a back-up. Those still concerned about \"pro\" appearances will probably use an ankle holster for the back-up to keep it hidden.
