.... Jerry, I most certainly will update this thread on progress. Weather today is appalling for photography though! Dull light, very windy, and raining. So I'll just be getting used to its physical feel and reading the user guide.
.... Michael, I won't be able to offer you any information which is scientific but I will be able to say how I find it compares with my 7D Mark II.
I can confirm this when I have the M5 in my hands but being mirrorless I am expecting that there is no black out whatsoever during continuous fps shooting.
If the M5 had any shutter lag I am sure that most of the online reviewers would have pounced on that failing, or am I misunderstanding your question?
Won't shot to shot times be largely dependent on the Mb/sec speed of the SD card being used? And especially if, as I always do, shooting RAW files in H Drive shutter speed bursts.
Btw, I never shoot video and so won't have any feedback about the M5's video performance. I do intend to use its remote control from my iPhone via Bluetooth < One of its features which attracted me to buy.
Not bothered about it being scientific Robin, it's how it compares against the 7d2 (i have one of those) The lag or viewfinder blackout has been picked upon by some reviews I have read, single shot to shot in quick succession times have not been quick enough in response to get a certain moment, but other reviewers had not picked up on it, maybe a buggy camera, I don't know? )Of course shot to shot times do depend on how fast the card is that is used,
I had an extensive play with an M5 back at the photography show, but it wasn't real world enough for me to decide on getting one.
Video is not really an issue, but is contradicting in reviews I have seen, some say it's very good, and another said full hd was like 720p in quality...
I am thinking of hiring one at some point if it's possible.
