Past a certain point, I don't want a smaller camera, because the smaller they become, the harder they are to use. I had an EOS M that I really liked, but I sold because I could never get the ergonomics to work. Tiny buttons, scroll wheel that was also a button, meaning you scrolled when you wanted a push and pushed when you want to scroll - and a touchscreen that I would input inadvertently all the time.
If I can't use the camera by feel alone, I don't want to use it. That's just me and how I use it, I'm sure landscape shooters and macro shooters would care much less about these things, as they can take their time a bit more with settings. I don't know how Wig uses that Q, it looks half the size of the EOS M. The Fuji system is as small as I think I can reasonably use.
In general, I think Sony is right in that mirrorless APS-C sized sensors will become the new "standard" if by nothing other than quantity shipped - APS-C seems to be the "sweet spot" between the benefits of sensor size, the ability to make more compact cameras than mirror slappers, and also, cost. Significantly less expensive than FF but in most cases, will rival if not match the quality. I do think APS-C and mirrorless will be the future, but agree with pRICE that Sony's attitude towards it is a little tone deaf.
