Wow, that's a great price.
It would be a nice replacement for an 70D+10-18 that I sometimes have clipped to my backpack or belt (either camera #2 or #3 when I go birding).
Yes, it is missing a lot ergonomically (controls, I mean), and I would never use this for a main camera, but I usually carry something wide to shoot the odd neat spot or strange tree when I go birding.
Re - Speedlite - that is a decent price there, too.
an M5 or M6 with a 11-22 or 22 would really be a better option for this really.
Yep – M6 + M11-22 in a Lowepro Dashpoint 30 makes a great tag-along.
M6 is not an option, because I like my cameras to have a viewfinder and a hotshoe. If you take that away, it becomes impossible (or at least really hard) to use as a spare, as I use a lot of flash/strobe.
I've almost bought an M5 and 11-22 about a half dozen times, but ended up buying something else instead. It would actually probably be great - I just never end up going through with it because it doesn't really change anything, and would be more to satisfy my desire to buy a gadget than anything else.
I use the peak designs capture clip (the new smaller one), for taking a small body along - I really like it.
