If you do not want to buy EOS M5, what is the obstacle in the first place?

I voted "Others" because there is a hierarchy of factors involved for me.

First, if it doesn't match or come close to the IQ I already get from my other mirrorless, I won't be interested at all. That's the deal breaker for me.

Second, if the AF with my EF mount lenses is dodgy my Canon EF-M adapter, I'd have second thoughts.

Third, if it does match or come lose in IQ and the AF works fine with the adapter, then I'd wait for the price to come down.

I don't use video so that doesn't matter to me.

Yes, it is not a simple question. Many things are involved.

I wish the first two would not be the case and regarding the third one, time will tell.
