Fujifilm today announced the X-M5 26.1MP camera. The notable feature of this camera is the size and weight of it. I have a soft spot for the EOS-M as it was a well-built little camera. I had three of…

I had similar thoughts when watching Gordon’s preview video! This is very close to the compact body I wish Canon would make!

Looks nice! I might be tempted, except my M6II and M lenses work great when I need portability.

Love the title @Richard CR! My first reaction after reading the release was: this is M space! This could be the missing EOS-M6. I wish it had tilting LCD! Then I came to share my impression here and read your note on it!

I had 3 EOS-M's(full spec, 720nm and color), and those things could fit in such a small packing space. while Fuji hasn't adopted the same consistency of the EOS-M lenses in terms of size, they do have a alot of smaller lenses

Canon now is the only vendor without a small APS-C camera - I guess we'll see what next year brings

Whee, a new camera model that's priced under US$1,000.

I have two original EOS M bodies and the very good EF-M 18-55 + the incredible EF-M 1.4 32 which perform very well for slow moving to static objects/subjects in not too contrasty environments! Video is meh, but for time lapse it has some special features with magic lantern.
M-5X would be the much better camera but at 899 EUR it is more expensive than R10 (888€) and maybe 1/2 R6 ii at the time the R6 iii is introduced.
R10 and R6 are non-comparable but this might be my route to spend the money - I will stay with my EOS Ms but for those in the fuji system or "system changers" this camera looks more than interesting!
