I take the good EVF of the M5 any time over the little tunnle vision poor SL2 OVF. And the M5 has a better sensor too.

The M5 and SL2 are using the same sensor

Well, if you read the second page of 'Hands-on with Canon's EOS Rebel SL2 / EOS 200D' here on this very website ...

... it says: We're told that the 24MP APS-C sensor in the new camera is essentially the same as the one used in the EOS 77D.

Now nnowak, were does it says that the M5 uses the sensor of the EOS 77D? You are making a very bold wrong statement here ... if I can go on the info of Dpreview.

M5, M6, SL2, T7i, 77D, 80D all use the same 24mp DPAF sensor. DPreview hasn't written that the M5 uses the 77D sensor because the 77D didn't exist when the M5 was launched.

Well, it is a 24 APS-c sensor, but not the same, it's not true. Look at the DxO site and other websites.

There is a lot more to a DxO score than just the sensor.  Every bit of hardware downstream from the sensor will impact the test results.  Sample variation between all of those different pieces of hardware will also impact test results.  Changes to firmware can affect test results.   The 80D is using DIGIC 6 vs DIGIC 7 in the M5 and M6.  As manufacturers gain more experience with a sensor, they tend to extract small incremental improvements from the same sensor.

Take all of this together and it is why you are seeing slightly different DxO scores for three different cameras that use the same sensor.

You can have the last word about this, but I don't argue further.

Thanks, here it is.... Stop looking at DxO scores.  They are completely worthless.

Jozef.
