I preordered from BH this time. I know .. I SWORE I would never preorder again as well. But I can try it out, and if i don't like it .. I can certainly return it.

After 2-3 weeks it will be sent to kolari .. he's waiting for it already

I presume we'll see more hands on and more testing between now and November 30th ship date, if not, I may cancel it.

That doesn't sound like a confident purchase at all.

Did I suggest it was?

my viewpoints on the M3 are well advertised. I have little faith in canon not doing something as equally moronic that won't come out until the camera is in people's hands.

I have resisted preordering the m5 for those reasons, but in reality, it's the better option even with those reservations, and unlike with the M3 - I can return it.

the big unanswered questions are USB tethering and also does AEB rely on shot to shot single shot speed (as it is on the M3) versus continuous shot to shot speed (as it is on every other camera), and is the sensor just an 80D with the same issues as the M3 sensor.

None of those questions will really be answered until it's in people's hands.
