+ Still my favorite ergonomics (Canon).+ Can open battery/card compartment without removing tripod.+ The Android app for remote shooting and wireless transfer is very responsive.+ Not too much lenses to choose
I'll recommend it if you like Canon ergonomics (which I do)
Rival Sony’s or Panasonic’s offer much more in that way, except from personal experience their video autofocus is awful comparatively speaking
The G5 X is better built, looks more premium, has superior screen ergonomics, and can charge in-camera
It’s diminutive size and easy ergonomics make this nice for street work when you’re in full daylight (see the cons).
All lenses focus accurately where you want them to, which is I think is critical (and difficult to nail quickly), as the exposure is a lot easier to handle using the P-A-S-M modes in creating a keeper
Reliable tack-sharp exposure and selective focus on an F 1.8 lens or an F 2 or F 2.8 lens is a pure joy and a creative epiphany
—its touch and drag selective dual pixel auto focus through the viewfinder, and reliable perfect focus and superb exposure are unlike anything else I’ve encountered in a camera.

You are reading snippets from reviews of Canon EOS M5 Mirrorless Camera Kit EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM Lens Kit - Wi-Fi Enabled & Bluetooth
The only disappointing this is that Canon doesn't have fast lenses for this M mount
You would need the adapter to use decent lenses on this camera because most of the ones offered will not yield images that are better than a smartphone
I still carry 5dmk3 with me sometimes but its main purpose now is for fast prime lenses like 135L. I use slow zooms on M5 and fast primes on full frame
I am likely going to be carrying the M5 for many family and social events because of its light weight, good lenses and good response.
But with dismal low-light auto focus, slow native lenses, poor ISO performance, and a lack of third party glass choices, you should pick a one of its incredible competitors and leave the M5 on the shelf

The "touch-to-drag" focus while using the viewfinder is awesome.

I got the camera with the lens adapter and tested with 300mm 2.8 with 1.6x extension outdoors afternoon, focus is good, images are little bit soft using
