1/ Canon, Pentax and Nikon do have the correct approch of mirrorless concepts : small sensors, for small bodies and accordingly small lenses. Whatever one might think, once you need strong grips and long focal distance, the mirrorless concept looses interest, because the body's size "advantage" with small lenses, becomes a handicap.
2/ The big margins are rather to be found in the mirrorless bodies producers, whose prices are definitely and globally higher than comparable SLRs, despite evidences of lower material, technical complexity and manufacture added value in these products (with the noticeable exceptions of Sony and Samsung, due to their fast market-share conquerant - but risky - strategy).
3/ Tomorrow's market will probably not be MILC's or DSLRsatz dominated ; there will definitely still be a huge market-share for DSLR. Why ? because not every photog is a mere urban or landscape shooter with 2 to 3 lenses, keen to swich label according to the last geekeries of any kind, let appart photography potential. Most interested photographers are investing time and money in their gear, appreciate the backward compatiblity and the serious/steady strategy of traditionnal DSLR makers, rather to elusive and/or instable/fancy providers like Olympus, Sony or Fujifim.
