This is not quite on topic, but where did you find the wrist strap shown with the M5? Been looking some time now for one that fits on the M5 and its tiny lug holes...

Thanks!

I just picked up an M5 with 18-150 yesterday.  Wrist strap was included as a bonus (The Camera Store).  I also noticed my camera already had 587 shots fired on it so it's going back on Monday for exchange or discount.

Re: M5 — First impression

Enjoy your new camera!

I have the M5 for one year now and I am really happy with it. I have also got the 22mm, the 32mm, the 11-22mm and the 55-200mm but most of the time I use the two primes. The quality of the photos is superb and although the camera is not a high end model or a pro model the results are beautiful. My only complaint is that the EVF shows a very high saturated image in contrast with what you actually get from the camera, but I prefer what I get so no problem  there 😋.

I love the usability of this camera as it is very easy to edit a photo in camera and then send it to your smartphone. If you really want to see what this camera is capable of please print your photos and you will be amazed. Lately I have some photos printed in fine art paper and the results were superb.

Enjoy your new camera and happy shooting.

I use Arca-Swiss quick release on all my tripods and cameras, so I can easily and fast put it on and take it off.

Something like this:
