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 had the M5 nice camera good sensor plenty of external controls ..but ergonomics suffer as do any camera as small as the M5 so not its fault but its AF is slow for anything that moves ..in fact, the tracking was not as speedy as my EOS 20D DLSR from 2004 and was the reason i sold it and as there is not going to be a M5mkii and went R mount...i think if your street photography has people in it i would really try and get a body with eye AF as it really is a game-changer ..i believe the M50 has better AF than the M5 and i believe the M6mkii has very good AF ..the M is a very nice system and i do miss the 11-22

Attention Dislexsic i mean dyslexic person... This post will have many although spell checked, spelling and grammatical errs ..its The best its going get so no need to tell me it is bad I know it is .....................................................................................................
the EOS M is not dead and wont be for a long time ....as long as you don't want a flagship camera with a VF...if that's the case it died sometime ago
My 5D IS a MK1 classic

There is no argument for FF vs APS-c (or m43) with shallow DOF..as it's a law of physics and a very subjective personal thing if you want to make use of the shallow DOF only FF can offer

If you wait for a camera that will tick all your boxes ....by then you will have more boxes to tick..... so the wait continues .....David Appleton
