When you have 20k+ invested in EF glass and speedlights you'll care.Not really sure why anyone cares if Canon or Nikon do mirrorless in a serious way. Are there not enough companies doing them now?
If you can't find a system that suits you now with all the options I'm not sure you ever will. Choice is nice, and there's lots of choice now.
Personally, I picked up a Sony to shoot alongside my Canon system. Initially I just wanted that amazing sensor, but the more I shoot with it the more I think that it is the future. There are times that the EVF is a hindrance, but those are the kind of specialized situations where a DSLR really shines anyway.
As far as mirrorless cameras being a "tiny part" of the market. I'd just point out that Sony now makes up 13% of all ILC sales. They went from "fighting for scraps with Oly and Pentax" to having a very firm foothold in the market. They are the only camera maker on an upward sales trajectory right now.
Of course, a lot of the hype with the Sony is specifically with their sensors. I think if Canon can come up with a sensor that competes with the Sony it may stem the tide of "switchers".
When i have 20k invested in glass I wont be changing up my camera to save a few ounces.
Sony is good for canon users who want to change because of the fab sensor, but what about the millions of posts that say glass before camera, if you've 20k glass then obviously it's good glass so whats the massive deal about a new camera. I'm not badgering, but interested in why everybody wants something that isn't there
