How is the EOS M5 for action? I didn't like what I saw from the first couple of EOS M cameras.

Is it better than the SL1? Would it be better than a hypothetical SL2 with more AF points, dual pixel, etc.

I use the SL1 as a walk around or a complimentary/backup camera in case my main has issues. It hasn't, but, it's there as a just in case.

Was using an x100s and nikon d5300 before that for awhile also for this purpose, but for practicality like that the SL1 is small and can throw on another canon lens.

Same AF system and sensor as the Canon 80D, but has a slight advantage in terms of burst performance.
