Could someone explain to me the difference between continuous shooting and continuous shooting I live view on a mirrorless camera? No autofocus tracking or metering?

Considering that all of Canon's newer cameras are coming with WiFi, I'm sure the M5 will have it as well. Canon wants people to download and use their app.LDS said:Canon Rumors said:More images of the Canon EOS M5 have appeared, along with more detailed specifications.
Strange.... no one complained yet no WiFi, no GPS... ;D
M3's current price may be $250 but when it was released, it was $650-700. The M5 will probably be 900-1100 based on the specs. It won't compete with 80D pricing though.lw said:pokerz said:liveview DPAF in 80D= cipa 300
what will you expect from Eosm5 ? 8)
M3 is 250.
I expect the M5 might be about the same. Will it use the same M3 battery?

There are two questions I have:
1) How much it will cost
2) When it will start shipping
There is no M4 (which doesn't exist) or any compact cameras that is comparable to the A6300 unless its like the G7X or G5Xrsdofny said:Is there a M4 that can be comparable to Sony A6300? Something small and compact for light travel and but better than my Sony RX100. The M5 looks like a mirrorless rebel with advanced features. I wonder why Canon does not put together a camera to go against the Sony Alpha 7R line.

Crosswind said:If the EOS M5 has IBIS, does that mean that I should permanently turn off the optical IS in the lens in favor for the internal stabilizer?
I'd only do so, if IBIS would be more effective and/or draws less energy from the battery. I still don't understand why Canon would put it in there because they have so many IS lenses.
99% sure it will have WiFi and GPS. All of Canon's newer cameras have it so why omit it? They will want to make the user experience and sharing of photos easier.K said:Why does every single thread on every Canon camera have to be tainted by all the 4K nonsense?
Seriously people, go get a real video rig if 4K is important to you. Who wants to do pro-level 4K videography on a small mirrorless camera anyway? Are these concerns even serious, or is this trolling? I don't get it.
Rant over -
This is looking promising, and if the mirrorless features are reasonably up to par - this will be a great camera. That means the EVF and other mirrorless only capabilities.
For me personally, being a 1-card slot setup, I truly hope Canon implemented some sort of wireless file transfer function into this camera. At the very least so that I can save RAW to SD, while automatically transferring JPG via Wifi to my cell phone or other device. This would make it an awesome travel camera. No, I do not want use an EyeFi setup. I'd prefer native Canon functionality similar to what they've put out recently. The camera can stay out and capture great images, the cell phone stays in the pocket and collects images for sharing/backup.
Without that, this camera is useless to me. I'm not going on an expensive trip and depend on a single SD card to protect my images. I can't just get up and re-travel to different places around the world and recapture the moments and the sights.
I really believe that capability should be seriously considered and refined by Canon as much as possible, as it's the only thing that can bridge the distance between cell phones and cameras within reason and keep these type of cameras viable. I don't foresee cameras ever being Android or iOS based anytime soon, let alone having GPRS/CDMA comms. Therefore, small cameras MUST have the capability to easily and quickly (and automatically) send at least JPG files to the cell phone.
