I just wanted to see how the A6500 affects those who preordered.

In the worst case, the A6500 will put severe downward price pressure on the M5. Isn't competition great?

Interesting thought! The 6500 might actually make me oder the M5 for the latter reason. I do like the features of the M5, but I'm disappointed by the added bulk compared to my M2. Now the 6500 would actually look better from a form factor perspective, but I prefer my set of Canon lenses, and the UI.

Now with severe pressure on the street price of M5, the gear-head in me might be tempted to put my hands on one. Would still not (be able to) replace my M2 in the frame bag on my MTB ...
