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).

+ 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

The M5 has great ergonomics for such a small body.

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
