Assume we cannibalize the full frame DPAF sensor from the 5DIV and live view AF works great. For $2000 would you prefer...

For the full frame EF-M options, assume full frame EF-M lense are introduced at the same pace as existing crop EF-M lenses.

I would like to have #2 M5 with full frame sensor (EF-M mount).

However, I can wait for several months or a year for a better price, thinking of Sony A7 or A7R's current price.

The 6D started out at $2100. After 4 years it is down to $1500. In the three years since announcement, the A7 and A7R have dropped $600 and $400 respectively.

The A7II has been around for almost two years now and the pricing has not dropped at all.

You may have quite a wait.

Well, because I do not need high resolution of A7R, I would be satisfied with A7 or A7II's Canon version.

According to the following page, the launch price of both A7 and A7ii was $1700, which is already less than $2000.
