Newbie here - I was just about to purchase a Canon EOS M5 from B&H when I decided to come here first and check out the conversations. I have an ancient Canon 30D with some EF and EF-S lenses circa 2006, so I figured that the M5 would be perfect for this Grandma who has not done any photography for over 10 years.

But now I see you talking about a some new M cameras and lenses from Canon later this year. So my guess is that I should hold off on buying the M5 and wait to see what the new versions offer..... And... surely the price on the current M5 will drop....

Yes... I've answered my own question. Thoughts?

Procrastination is the thief of a good time. There will always be a better and cheaper gadget coming along in a year or two. If the M5 or an M50 or even an M500 does what you want at a price you can afford, then go for it and have the use of it now. If the price drops later as the result of a rumoured new model, it's unlikely to be by as much as the cost of renting one for that period.  If you save up and wait for a newer M5 you'll end up wondering if it would be cheaper if you waited a bit more for Black Friday or the successor to the M50.
