5. EF-M lenses are quite good. All metal barrel construction, IS, optical quality

Only the early EF-M lenses have a metal body. The newer lenses have a plastic body.

All the EF-M lenses are plastic bodied; the latter ones are more honest, the earlier ones have a metal bayonet and an extremely thin metal vanity shell, e.g.

Sectioned EOS M

That doesn't really matter, Canon have been using plastic in many places to improve their products for forty years now, they know what they're doing. Personally I'd rather the money went into engineering the mount and into the glass but I am a sucker for a nice stainless steel bayonet.
