The camera was announced in Feb 2017 so it's been out for almost two years.

It's being sold for 460 (euro) and I am considering buying it (I'd try to sell the M10 + 15-45 mm).

Your thoughts?

Hi, xabi, it appears that the rumor vine has it that there will be updates to the M line in the near future, which is good news for the short term of the M system (although long term is still uncertain), but I have greater confidence in recommending the M system now than before. Ironically though, my advice is still to wait if able, since there are 2 planned cameras in the works, and there seem to be significant upgrades (with possibly true 4k video). The M5 is still a good camera with only a small premium to the M6 if you get it at a good price too. Lens shortage continue to be a problem for this system, so I would recommend the 32mm f/1.4 if you go for the system, albeit at a higher price (also the 22mm is good, but slow).
