We <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/there-will-be-a-new-eos-m-camera-coming-in-2016/">believe that the next camera to be announced by Canon will be the EOS M5</a>, a mirrorless camera that will be a departure from what has come before it. It won’t be a full frame camera, but it will be slightly upmarket from the EOS M3. Alongside the camera will be a new EF-M 18-150mm lens.</p>

Current generation DPAF and a built-in EVF or no sale. A fast portrait prime or 2 will be needed as well.

If it's going upmarket price-wise I'll have to agree with you. DPAF is a must, or something similar that performs equally well. Built in evf seems more than necessary for a mirrorless camera.

Canon doesn't care if you don't buy it. They care about mass market appeal, and even if you don't buy the M5, there will be millions tens of thousands some people who will.

"Departure from what has come before it" could mean bigger, built in EVF, more dslr orientated, and more expensive. If so the M3 may continue.

It is crying out for DPAF, but I suspect it will require a specially developed sensor.

"Slightly upmarket from m3" :(

Marketing speak for "the MSRP will be higher" so that Canon can make more profit.

But the M3 is already pretty cheap. The body + wide angle zoom (here in Tokyo) are cheaper than the Sony Rx100 III. (Grumble; but add the finder and it's more expensive.) So there's a bit of room for price increase iff there's a built-in finder. If and only if.

Somehow this gets my nose twitching, having given up hope on there being a SL2 coming out maybe Canon might finally bring out a small ILC that would be of interest, but please don't deliberately cripple it to the point where only mass consumers would buy it.

At this point there's no way I'm buying anything from Canon unless it has DPRAW.

Bring it Canon.

Yes it's a nice feature, provided you don't mind abandoning an evolved, well practiced Lightroom workflow for the required but clunky DPP. Canon just can't do software. Hoping that Canon will release the necessary DPRAW info to third party software makers, ie Adobe & Capture One. You'd be hard pressed to find a single professional photographer working with even modest volumes who would use DPP. The results are nice, the GUI is deceptively pretty but the workflow totally sucks.

I'd take a look at an M(x) when it has built in EVF & DPAF. Not so fussed about DPRAW in a pocket camera.

EOS M5 (dream)

-80D Sensor
(Makes it suitable for high dynamoc range landscapes and serious 24mp photography for portraiture)
-DPAF for stills and video
-Touch panel with selfie position
-Headphone/mic jacks
-4k video or at least 1080p with no aliasing at 60p
(Quality video + selfe LCD + DPAF makes it THE vlog/youtube camera)
-Large grip
-Viewfiner or new better cheaper separate one that has a show mount on top of it.
-DPRaw
-Antiflicker
-High frame rate (6-7) at least
-Silent electronic shutter mode (weddings)
(DPAF + high burst + antiflicker would make it suitable for sports)
-USB 3.0
-Wifi/NFC

I mean they can do it. It's just marketing keeping this EOS M from us. Which with an EF adapter and just one ef-m (22mil) would be my A camera, for portraiture (great sensor), landscape (great DR and high res), and professional videography (4K/good HD with EVF and DPAF and tilt panel), I wouldn'r need another camera really. I am no Fullframe-affectionato. APS-C is a big sensor.
