Re: Will you cancel your M5 pre-order after seeing the A6500?

I'm in deep with Canon (T2i/70D/6D/7Dii/5Dsr/1DXii). I'm semi-deep with Sony NEX-5, a6000, a6300, A7Rii and a99ii pre-ordered.

I've pre-ordered the EOS M5 and that will not change with the a6500  announcement. Though the a6500 looks awesome there is still NO e-mount 400mm or greater native. I drew a line in the sand; until Sony can yield 400mm in e-mount no more e-mount purchases.

We also have Oly and the wonderful 300mm/F4; the GX8 and the wonderful PL 100-400mm. If Oly and Pana can do it where is Sony ??

Now a bit of irony. I'm purchasing the a99ii solely because I own a 70-400Gii. I want a Sony sensor to reach 400mm. Not just any Sony sensor but the one in the A7Rii I'm buying the M5 for the 400mm/5.6 and to have as backup to whatever Canon I'm carrying that day.

When Sony has an e-mount 100-400mm or 400mm then I'll buy the a7000
