More Canon EOS M5 Specifications Emerge
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
price in € like 80D. not as high as i had expected.
other than that i like most of the specs, except
* size and weight
* no GPS
* no built-in RT flash controller
* same whimpy battery as M3 ... despite all the extra space
video? don't care at all.
may buy one when rfviews are out and price has dropped ... spring 2017 cashback.

They stated in the intro video that the M5 can use cellphone GPS to geotag photos as you shoot. This is a first for Canon, isn't it?

Sorry, but if you're saying they'd only sell a "few" more cameras by including 4K video, then totally disagree. Especially if they sold a full frame 4K video capable (not cropped) 5DIV, they'd sell hundreds of thousands more. Decisions not to include 4K video are based on fear of cannibalization of Cinema EOS products, not market research

It's fascinating how little people can know and still be cocksure that they are right. It goes beyond parody that a random Average Joe confidently makes claims about the motives of a market-leading multi-billion dollar company based on a hunch.

that multi-billion self proclaimed industry leading corporation called canon is not hard to see through. they are just as evil, greedy, shortsighted, un-innovative and stupid as any other large organization. virtually every average joe has just as much brains in their guts than the canon geriatric ward top management in its entirety. as everyone knows who remembers canon's massive f*ckup with the EOS M (I) and its total failure in the US market due to subpar performance coupled with way too high pricing ... so much for "know it all better, bigtime market research, oh so smart global consumer sh*t" corporation canon inc.
it took them 5 iterations until they finally coughed up the first halfway decent mirrorless APS-C camera. and it really should come in 2 versions, one with full-blown 4k at double the price, so the video whiners finally shut up.

I use a 5D series body and lenses for my nature shooting but have a Sony a7R ii with a Zeiss lens for daily and traveling. Been wishing for Canon to come out with a competitor to the Sony alphas. This new body is tempting but just not quite there for me. I think if they made a full-frame version with an EF mount (hate adapters), they'd have a killer challenger to Sony's alphas. I'd be 1st in line for one.
Any thoughts?

If it had an EF mount it would have to be the size of a 6D, at which stage what is the point?

It changes with your post numbers. You can't change it any other way than by posting more, but welcome and it changes fast early on.

Thank you... 
I pre-ordered an M5 from B&H today, delivery on or after November 30. I have an M3 but I am looking forward to the M5, seems like a big improvement. I would like to see what the reviews have to say about the 18-150 lens. Hopefully some will emerge soon.

I don't have a Zeiss 50mm f/0.7 lens either, but it would be nice ...

18-150 ... looking forward to reading reviews and seeing real-life images captured with it, too. MTF charts look very decent and are somewhat better than EF-S 18-135. on the tele end (150mm) MTF looks slightly better than the (also good) EF-M 55-200 at 200mm - but the latter offers 50mm more reach. MTF charts also looks good in comparison to the very decent EF-M 18-55 on wide end (18mm).
it will also be interesting to learn at which focal lengths aperture on 18-150 will drop from f/3.5 to f/6.3.
i have both EF-M 55-200 and 18-55 and am very happy with their optical performance, but often do not carry along the tele-zoom - especially on extended hiking/mountaineering trips in the alps. i am tempted to get the 18-150 for those occasions and maybe sell 55-200. but i am not in a hurry, i'll wait and see if a good deal for M5 with 18-150 kit comes along eventually, maybe some future canon cashback deal ...
if i were to start from scratch with canon EOS-M system, i'd get M5+18-150 kit plus the excellent 11-22 and skip 55-200 and 18-55. not interested in 15-45, it is optically and mechanically lower grade. 22/2.0 is a really great tiny lens and i will not sell it, but unfortunately large M5 body size makes it non-pocketable even with pancake, as opposed to EOS M (1st gen) or M2.

With Bluetooth LE it should be quite easy.AvTvM said:Sharlin said:
don't know if it is a Canon first. if it works well and is simple to set up, i'll be content as far as GPS is concerned. don't want to use cam as navigation device
