Would you pay more for 1080p in the M5 that is at least as good as in 80D?

Hi,

The different is basically ALL-I and IPB. Canon EOS M5 video don't have ALL-I option.

Have a nice day.

If that is the case then, Canon is again perfectly judging this for its target audience.

Which target audience is that?  The M5 is in the same price bracket as the 80D, which will shoot ALL-I.

I can't see many amateurs/enthusiasts looking to record in ALL-I and having to edit it and reprocess it to get it to a reasonable file size. Obviously it would be nice to have for those occasions when you want the extra detail and the option to post process it yourself with your own choice of settings for H.264

The M5 is more than capable of shooting ALL-I.  This is another case of Canon dropping a feature via a firmware flag solely for artificial market segmentation.  Canon doesn't want the M5 to be quite as good as a DSLR, but then they price it the same as a DSLR.  If the M5 were a $500 camera, no one would be complaining about missing 80D features.

Good bit of detail on it here - http://www.canon.com.hk/cpx/en/technical/va_EOS_Movie_Compression_Options_All_I_and_IPB.html
