The M-series offers a great way to take advantage of cheap FD lenses so when my M5 passes on I'd probably replace it with an M50 II.

I use my M5 almost exclusively in manual mode with manual lenses that have aperture rings. All I have to worry about on the camera is shutter speed which can be changed by rotating the shutter button collar.

Is that also how the M50 does shutter speeds in manual and Tv mode?

You press up on the directional pad to switch the shutter button collar between aperture/shutter speed/exposure compensation. I'd rather have dedicated dials, but I put up with it.

For now I sit and dream of a M5II

me too

I'll press the buy button immediately upon announcement and include the two kit zooms in the package if it is announced and they include proper EFCS and mechanical and shutter speed algorithms in the design as they should have with the m6II and continue to give the great electronic shutter of the m6II

Listening Canon?

You got a market here for M5II with 32 mpxl sensor, all the features of the m6II, and then add the internal evf for longer lenses and to use my Odin triggers with the evf and longer lenses

Heck, then build even another one, an M5III and include IBIS in that one and I'll buy that one also and run three M's with three different lenses attached since I hate changing lenses

The M6II would have the M32 F1.4 glued

The M5II with EFCS, mechanical, electronic and shutter speed algorithms implemented would have either the M11-22 or m55-200 attached

The M5III with all the features of the M5II and then add IBIS would have the siggy 56 F1.4 glued

Win Win for everyone who cares about small !!!!

I think you would have better luck asking Santa Claus for world peace.

Good one!

M50II sounds like the way to go for you!

I'd say it is the way to go for most

M6II is a beast that needs specific processes, software, and glass to get the most out of it- which takes a lot of time to understand and then optimize.  I've enjoyed doing so, but many will not like that road to optimize the results.
