Hello there,

I am looking to buy a digital mirrorless camera for street photography ?

It is very cheap to buy a M5 right now. (about 450$) So that I could invest on lenses. (22mm and 32mm)

How is it (M5) as street photography machine ? Any comments ?

OR shall I wait for M5 mark 2 (heard it's coming soon) / go for M6 mark 2 ?

Thanks.

PS: This is really a comparison between M5, M6 mark 2 (and future M5 mark2)

I don't have M5 (but M6), but I know pros and cons of my camera, M5 might be similar.

For me, the M6 is still a good camera, not only for street photography. Of course, M6 II offers some improvements, but (for me) they are not of great importance.

I just want to add something "to smile": Canon Europe still offers M5 as "Our flagship Mirrorless for enthusiasts looking to tell stories with the uncompromising quality and speed of DSLR". Obviously, there is no need for M5 II
