Reviewers from digitalpicture have found the following***:
The M5 is the flagship EOS M model and its price reflects this status. It is a full-featured camera that performs extremely well, but at least initially, it is not inexpensive. The M5 has great image quality, an excellent AF system (intelligent, good speed) and an impressive set of features and controls.
