IS there an e-shutter in Canon EOS M5? Haven't seen it in the specs, so I'm guessing not.

I am fairly sure there is no electronic shutter option.  It can't be worse than the M3's shutter.  It is loud and sounds like a something far more substantial than a shutter activating.  I have the 6D and it has a silent shutter mode and even with the mirror it is much quieter than the M3.

Btw, I think a lot of people are saying it is a big disappointment, I think it is going to spur a bit of race between Sony & Canon, which is very healthy! Especially after A6300 got a bit short on new features as well (e.g. touch focus selection).

The A6300 and M5 are really close in terms of value, IMO.  Each has features that are desirable but based one what I read I would give the edge to the M5 if 4k video is not absolutely necessary for the user.  If it is then the A6300 is the best choice.  The fact that I can say this means that Canon did a decent job with the M5.
