I do not consider Canon's mounts to be better than Sony's E-mount.

Canon is stuck with 2 mounts, the EF-M and the RF, with the RF being the more future proof one. But there is no way to adapt the EF-M to the RF. And there is no way to adapt any other MILC mount to RF.

Meanwhile, the Nikon Z-mount is as close as you can get to a universal mount. You can adapt almost everything E-mount, everything Laica, everything DSLR. And there are videos on YouTube doing just this. Its a combination of the largest diameter with the shortest flange distance.

I forsee Canon getting stuck in indecision.

I foresee the Canon EF-M competing favorably with the Nikon One mount.

One major limitation of E-mount is diameter. E-mount is 46.1mm to Canon's 54mm and Nikon's 55mm. I think a lot of the other limitations can be fixed, but that one is a bit tough for Sony. That means they will run into issues with vert fast/wide aperture lenses.

Nikon goes down to f/0.95 on their 58mm.

Nikon seems like the clear winner here.
