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

The cost being at near $1K is the reason I will not order one.

I honestly feel the M5 is an exceptional camera but at it`s asking price iIt`s simply too much for "me" to pay for a camera that produces images that won`t look any better on screen or in print than images from my my XF1 .

The many other many features and capabilities of the M5 has that my XF1 lacks will not be missed by me.

I`d much rather have the $1k in my pocket at this time. Next year I`ll probably end up getting the M5 for $500 or less with lens.
