<p>I have been using the Canon M range for some time now. I currently have a Canon M3 with an EVF with which I am very happy.<br>
As a professional I have a 5DS and a 5D MkIII for my work, but when I go on holiday I just want to lug all this equipment around. So as a travel camera it meets my needs. I take four lenses, 11-22, 22mm, 18-55 and 55-200mm and the whole lot goes neatly into a small messenger type bag, along with a light manfrotto monopod.<br>
I sometimes take a 50mm 1.4 prime with an adapter and/or a 200mm 2.8.<br>
I am waiting to get my hands on a M5 to see if it is worth the upgrade.<br>
The M3 has a metal body compared to the M5 which has a plastic body.<br>
The M3 EVF swivels to a vertical position<br>
The inbuilt flash is the same power.<br>
The main difference with the M5 apart from the inbuilt EVF, is the Digic 7 processing and dual pixel autofocus.<br>
I will say though, with the EVF eyepiece removed, makes the system with a pancake 22mm lens, quite compact and very good for street photography as onlookers think you just have an upmarket compact, whereas you have a wolf in sheep's clothing so to speak.<br>
The perception I have is that some people are damming the product without giving it a go. OK it is not a sports machine or a camera designed to take birds in flight but as a travel companion it is ideal in my humble opinion.<br>
Both the M3 and the M5 will fill this role admirably</p>
