I do not say that there will not be M5 mark ii. But what if there is no M5 series any more? If it is the case, what would you choose?

- M50 series with EVF and articulated LCD but no many control dials or
- M6 series with many controls and flipped LCD but no EVF.

As an M5 user, I am torn between two.

Use your M5.

I will.

what's wrong with it?

Just enjoying the speculation about it, I wanted to know others' opinions.

Wait and see what happens with the M50 Mark II or the M5 Mark II.

If you absolutely need the features in the m50 or the M6, then get it, and just be prepared to swap out.

I want M6's new AF, AF back button, and electronic shutter and M50's LCD.

The only real downside to the M6 + EVF is the hotshoe. So keep your M5 for the instances where you need a hotshoe.

Thankfully, the situation for me to use EVF and flash at the same time is very rare.

Or wait.

Even if M5 mark ii comes out, I will not be sure to buy it. Yes, I will wait as your suggestion. Thank you.
