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.

The GP-E2 also works on the R7 without any adapters.

Thanks.  I should have written that "all of the existing DEVICES" will still work (including cords and transmitters and cold shoe attachments, etc etc).  Only the full weather sealing is lost (without the AD-E1 adapter).
