M5 or Something Else?

I'm looking at purchasing the M5 with 15-45 Kit and the 18-150. With the current Canon cashback this will owe me a little over AUD$2000.00 (approx US$1500).

I have have the M3 with pretty much the full line of lenses and a 5DMKII with plenty of other glass.

My issue is I have a muscle tear that just won't heal and carpel tunnel that makes the weight of the 5DMKII and lenses too heavy for me to hold let alone keep still.

So I'm off to China and looking for some alternatives.

My current line of thinking is M3 / M5 with 11-22 and 18-150 which saves a stack of lens changes. I think the 11-22's a brilliant lens, enjoy the wide angle side of things and the IQ is brilliant.

There are three things that top my list. IQ, weight and IS. I'd prefer a viewfinder. Not really interested in the video side of things. This would mainly be used as a travel camera but would still like the ability for good low light shots.

So do I stick with the M5 or invest my dollars into a new system?
