Thought about this a little more. I like the OM-D because it allows me to carry a little kit with high quality lenses. The reason I would want a Canon mirrorless would be so I could have a small kit with my existing Canon lenses and flash.
However, have you ever picked up a Canon 70-200 or an 85 1.2 lenses and a 580 flash? If so you will understand why this will never be a small kit no matter the size of the body. On my recent vacation I carried an OM-D, 12-50, 45 1.8, 25 1.4 and a small flash. That's not too far off in size from my 24-105 lens alone.
That fact that the new Canon can use existing lenses and Canon flash systems is a great plus but maybe not enough of one to compete.
