Canon m5 is a great little camera, but it is held back by the following:

1. No cross type af sensors

Do any mirrorless cameras have cross type after sensors?

2. No selective af patterns like the 7d2

I use the touch screen shutter release so I've never felt the need for it.

3. Poor af in low light

4. No effective spot af

Touch screen

5. For flash photography, it does not use canon's pre-flash from their flashes and ettl is thus slow.

6. Lack of L type lens for the M series. Maybe competitors will get into the game

Any L type lens works just fine.

7. Tracking bif and sports is poor

8. Most importantly, canon has not decided where to put their low end resources (rebel or mirrorless.) One will win and the other will disappear. Make up your mind Canon. Right now both are suffering strategic investment and time to market for improvements which means competitors (mostly Sony) could take future market share away===take future profit away.
