I'd pay $1200 body only for 4K on an EOS M5 with DPAF. It's 2016, it should be standard.

But throw in 1080p/120 fps with full DPAF (i.e. not a special mode) and close to 1080p quality 240fps (in a special mode) and cooling fans like those on the Canon XC10 and I'd gladly pay $2K for the body, even considering the current M lens lineup and having no plans on using EF lenses.

But that's right now, in 2016. For the EOS M6? Depends how much Sony and others would have caught up to DPAF in video by then.

On the flip-side, if any of the GX85 (not even G85), a6500, or X-T2 had Canon DPAF performance for video and 1080p/120 with touchscreen, I'd pay $2000 body only for ANY of those. If the Oly EM1 Mk ii which already has an SRP of $2K (which I think is worth it for IBIS in video alone) had Canon level DPAF in 4K plus 1080p/120, I'd even pay $2500 for that. Maybe more. Not having to carry around a gimbal is worth a lot. 😄

Basically, good quality 4K + good quality 1080p/120 + Olympus-level IBIS + touch to focus and Canon-level DPAF = take my money! 😁
