The biggest let down on the EOS M to me was the complete lack of the ability to turn off exposure simulation. As someone who shots with flash a lot in and out of the studio.. I can deal without a optical view finder, but not being able to turn exposure simulation off just means I can not use it.. Hope this has been addressed in the M5..

I wish it had a flip out screen like the 80D. You can't see the screen from the front of the camera correct?

 

[AE-1Burnham]

Everything +'s,-except the battery... Verticle grip/Battery compartment availability maybe could help..?

 

[brightside]

Hi guys and gals. Can one use an EF lens with this camera or are special lenses required?

Thank you.

 

[elliothaney]

Well, for me, this is a nearly instant pre-order. Depending on price of course, but I'm one of the crazies that loved the original M for what it was, and already have the 11-22, the 22 and the lens adapter. Can't wait to find out the price!

Identical pixel count on the EVF as G5X/EVF-DC1; perhaps the EVF-DC2 (rumored) is hotshoe upside? Grasping at straws here.

7FPS while in tracking I believe is in line/trumps the A6300's continuous tracking AF FPS, interesting. Might be wrong on that but I believe the best buy rep indicated you can't shoot 11fps in tracking, you have to dial down to either 8 or 3 FPS for hits.

Edit: A6300 is 8FPS continuous, still, not bad at all.

At least I don't have to drop another ~$60 for a spare battery.

MTF charts on the 18-150 anyone? Be nice to have prior to release for upgrade path decisions.

Both A6000 and A6300 do 11 FPS AFC, A6300 gives 8 fps with Real time EVF tracking.
Hope m5 wont gives us shizzle EVF and lags like hell. 8)

And it also drops down to 12 bit mode and evf resolution as soon as someone starts using headline features on Sony.

Not to mention that it probably overheats and occasionally just freezes (see what I did there).

Sony has some really nice products on paper, but they just don't work. This applies in my experience to their cameras, phones and laptops (back when they made them) at least.

Hi,
Hmm... 7D2 for wildlife/birding and bring along a small M5 + EF-M11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM for general purpose or EF-M28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM for small things.

Hope not too expensive.

Have a nice day.

Does it show same frozen frame during 12/8 FPS modes? Is 8 fps mode with subject tracking also 12bit on Sony?
Another issue with a6300 is, it doesn't use lens full open while doing AF. If someone is shooting at slower aperture even with faster lens, AF takes a hit. Is it the case with M3 and Canon. There are so many hidden things with Sony (along with their expensive crop lens and abandoning crop lens development), I avoided them even with lot of positive reviews so far. I think, Sony is very generous with reviewers.

You can turn liveview simulation off in nex so that Max aperture when AF.
None of eosm can turn liveview simulation off, hope m5 can fix this.

Does M5 overheats or freeze in 4k or 1080@120p.
M5 looks good on paper, even kill out Rebel. :-\

 

[Tangent]

A 3.5mm plug for a wired remote?

 

[brightside]

I think this camera is going to be pricier than we think....

 

[d]

I think this camera is going to be pricier than we think....

I agree.

 

[jebrady03]

I think this camera is going to be pricier than we think....

I'm inclined to agree. I foresee lots of threads and posts essentially saying that the poster was a buyer at $700 or $800 but at $1,200 they are going to pass.

 

[brightside]

I just had a thought, it would be hilarious if this camera has for 4K without motion JPEGS! Oh man, people would rage.

 

[rrcphoto]

You know what really has me curious? At 9FPS, I hope they re-did the shutter sound. The M3 is the worst cheap clank sound to date. I mean seriously, the M and M2 were better, the G1X II was better. Common Canon. Oh well, it's the small things; if that's my biggest complaint is a cheesy sound, sure, whatever.

Silent mode would be REALLY nice, but I don't see it in the specs, a shame.

yes the M3 shutter sound is pretty bad.

nothing like the smooth snick of the M.

 

[m8547]

Why can't we get exposures longer than 30 seconds built into the camera? It would could be useful at night or with very strong ND filters.
