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.

Camera sales are dropping like a rock.  This is probably going to mean 2 things:

1) Some great fire sales coming in the short term, but not likely on newer models.

2) Price increass in the future when the camera companies realize there is nothing they can do to stop the slide in sales and then decide to get the max dollar they can for each camera they sell.
