2nd Time around

This is my second purchase of this camera. I did a lot of research and could not beat the specs for this camera. Once again I have found a that this camera is superb and gives great results.

I compared to the M50 and I liked the M5 better because of the metal frame compared to a composite frame.

The minor bad is the selection of lenses but for the amateur to experienced it is just fine. The positive of the system is it's small size including the size of the lens without a loss of photo quality.

I have the lens that came with it 15-45 zoom lens and I also bought the 55-200 Zoom Lens. When I have a few more funds I will be picking up the 18-150 lens to be used for my Primary.

I would recommend this camera.

On the bars below I usually only shoot Landscape and still life so I only gave good to the rest because I don't have a lot of experience with the rest. What I have taken were good to excellent.
