The M line is already outselling Panasonic MILCs in Japan. Oh wait, you meant 'compete' as in what you personally think is better. :
This. I heard the same thing about the Samsung NX1's 15 fps 28 MP APS-C superbeast. It was going to take over the world. Then it was the A7R II, then it was the GH5, etc.
Yet Nikon and Canon endure somehow.
Generally if the word 'beast' is used in describing something's dominance, it's a person that would rather buy a spec sheet and frame it on the wall than actually capture images with it.

Pleased that Canon are giving those of us that really like the vari-angle (EVF) viewfinder the option to go forward with it in up dated cameras. Personally I really like being able to look down into the viewfinder of the M3, and clearly Fuji must think the same with their GFX 50S medium format camera. 
However not being able to mount a proper flash at the same time is an issue, but as I don't need to use the M3 for that kind of work I can only whinge half-heartedly.

I'm personally an integral VF guy and did not take the EOS M brand seriously at all until the M5 finally did the right thing and offered one.
But variable angle is not a bad thing. I loved this digital --> Rolleiflex hack a guy did on PP for straight down 'viewfinder' shooting a ways back:

So as much as I turn my nose up at bolt-on VFs, variable angle is clever.

You're going to love the Fuji GFX 50S then
Look on the bright side: with that kit you'd never have to worry about a 50mm f1.4 IS again ;D

vari-angle is amazing, also allows me to remove my photochromic glasses out of bright sunlight by tilting my head down.

Scratching me head over the entire line. It seems a mess with entry, mid and higher bodies launched in bizarre orders. Not too mention the naming nomenclature and the various body changes. I'd love to love it and am glad some have but it's such a jumble.

I don't mind the branding nearly so much as the lens nerfing. USM lenses are the only missing pieces tech-wise for the M5 now that it finally has DPAF and an integral EVF.
Consider: The 80D has native mount USM lenses. The M5 -- 'mirrorless 80D' -- does not. Small f/2 USM primes and f/4 constant USM zooms would be gold and I'd strongly consider getting in on EOS M at that point.

Presumably they skipped the "M4" model number for The Usual Reason.
There's no EOS 4D series of cameras either, after all. Currently, numbers 9, 8, 3, and 2 are still "free".
Anyway. I am also very curious about the difference(s) between the new EVF unit and the -DC1.
I am guessing higher frame rate, and HOPEFULLY a less hyper-sensitive eye-proximity-detector.
That latter REALLY IS ANNOYING.
I am about to buy an M5 and 18-150mm, as in, within 2 weeks now, but now I'm really curious about this M6 and the new EVF! I already have the M3 and the EVF-DC1 and the 18-55mm.
An earlier rumour about this M6, though it was not given a name back then, suggested it would be a lower camera than the M3 anyway. Like an "M20" or something. In which case, it would interest me not in the slightest bit. If it's an M3 replacement, I am slightly interested, but it's kinda academic now, as I'm about to get the M5.
If it's something really unexpected, like an M5 in a smaller form factor (er, how?!) then... Well, I'll deal with that in the VERY unlikely event it happens.
I will 90% likely just buy the M5 anyway, in about 2 weeks, before the (lower-in-the-range) M6 comes out, as I have decided I want the M5 and 18-150mm.

That was my beef with the m3 as well. I use flash 90% of the time. A twin hot shoe model would be sweet.
