A Camera has to feel good in your hand, and give you great images it fails to do either one of these two it is a failure.

The images I took with the 22mm were pretty good, but the overall issues I had with this camera forced me to return it

The camera does feature a good sensor and image processor, but the lenses will hinder the results provided by the great tech that's included

This camera is a great travel camera with top quality image and all the controls you need

However, it packs much better technology with really good image quality in a small compact camera body

2000.Then used 100mm 2.8 indoors with bright room light, the focus was struggling very hard, was impossible to take a shot, very disappointed

ILC Small, Light easy to use, touch screen, Hybrid af 2. 18MP, shoots 1080P Video.

Sometimes the screen is hard to read in bright light - maybe they could come up with a simple solution, like a shade.

Did a few with available light and was amazed at how good the image stabilization worked at super slow shutter speeds

it’s great because it’s super light, gives you more leeway to attach L lenses and an adapter

I've also had a G9, and an S3 IS (2005-ish, my first camera, and it has an EVF and articulating screen).- - - - -NOTES⁽ⁿ¹⁾

Decided to see how the menus worked with 600EX-RT Speedlite, controlled by the ST-E3-RT

Additionally, you really get amazing noise control for so many MP in an APS-C sensor

It’s diminutive size and easy ergonomics make this nice for street work when you’re in full daylight (see the cons).

I'll recommend it if you like Canon ergonomics (which I do)

The G5 X is better built, looks more premium, has superior screen ergonomics, and can charge in-camera

+ 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

Rival Sony’s or Panasonic’s offer much more in that way, except from personal experience their video autofocus is awful comparatively speaking

—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.

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

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

Like a phone camera using the back-screen alone where you can touch the screen (and have it optionally click the shutter also) , which I find very convenient, for snapshots

The G5 X is better built, looks more premium, has superior screen ergonomics, and can charge in-camera

With an articulating screen I need to flip the screen out to the side before I can flip up and down

The build quality of the camera is fine and the back screen and viewfinder are super sharp and bright

Rival Sony’s or Panasonic’s offer much more in that way, except from personal experience their video autofocus is awful comparatively speaking

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

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.

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

Rival Sony’s or Panasonic’s offer much more in that way, except from personal experience their video autofocus is awful comparatively speaking

Add slow lenses and terrible AF and our little friend here becomes a daylight-only shooter

I really like how smooth the focus is.⁽ⁿ⁵⁾ I cannot believe this
