Thanks for your feedback. I had posted this article because I found the M5 to be a very good camera for this trip. While I used by 5D Mk ii for approximately 1/2 of the images I took, there weren't any that I couldn't have taken as well with the M5. Part of my thinking was that I have a full frame camera, how can I not use it when it is easy to do so? On the other hand, the 5D couldn't have taken some of the wildlife images I was able to capture with the M5 either because the M5 was able to maintain autofocus when the aperture was below f5.6, or because setting the autofocus point on the M5 was significantly and had more flexibility than with the 5D.

There is a lot of negative comments on the forum regarding the M cameras, but I have found that they are often the tool of choice in travel photography, initially because of their significantly smaller size and weight, but now with the M5 because of some features that mirrorless cameras offer.

yes, I'm pretty much using the M5 for everything (wish Canon made mirrorless M lenses)
