I don't mean that in a bad way. I would not buy the M5 because I do not own any Canon lenses. I own Nikon, some Sony Alpha and a lot of MFT, but no Canon. So to use the M5 I would have to buy into a new system, which makes no sense for me.

The M5 is, no doubt, very attractive to Canon owners, as it should be. The only thing I see missing from the camera (for me) is 4K video. I say Canon has finally brought out a decent mirrorless entry, so well done. Nikon, the ball is now in your court.

Yes, because it is Canon, I am interested in purchasing it.

In many ways, some cameras may be better than M5 already. Truly they are very interesting, but they cannot be my target because I am too timid to move to another territory.
