The M5 has the same hot shoe as my 70D and they can share flashes, off-camera cords, and the ST-E2 controller. To use the R7 I have to use the AD-E1 adapter or buy a new flash or two.

I just wanted to clarify for folks that all of their existing flashes will indeed work directly on the R Series hot shoe/ accessory shoe (just as they work on the M Series).  An adapter is only necessary if you want to maintain the same level of weather sealing.
