I was planning on getting a M5 body with and 11-22 during the current "Best in Glass" sale but ended up with:
M6 with 15-45
EVF-DC2 for just $50
This is comparable in price to the current sale price of the M5 with the kit lens but offers the ability to go small when I want and add the EVF when I need it.
The Camera Store also threw in a EF mount adapter which I don't need and a wrist strap.
I also ended up grabbing the 28mm macro as they offered an additional $100 off the lense when purchased with the kit on top of the existing $130 off so the net cost was $199. Not bad for a normal prime albeit a little slow.
I also ordered a second LP-E17 battery at the same time. Some reviews suggest that two batteries may be sufficient for normal use. Time will tell
