A VERY quick play with the M5. As I only have the 15-45mm atm (11-22mm and 55-200mm ordered) I attached the adapter and 70-300mm L and took a few shots around the house.
ISO on it blows away the 7D MKI and it looks to be a vey capable camera although the EVF will take some getting used to (have disabled the rear screen completely for the time being).
I wouldn't like to go much larger than the 70-300mm L on it as it's very unbalaned even then, using my 150-600mm Sigma Sport may be a bit of a nightmare never mind the 300mm IS f2.8 I recently sold Also. I know it sort of defeats the object but if Canon (or a third party) brought out a battery grip then I would snap one up in a heartbeat.
Anyway, just a quick picture of my normal test subject when I get a new camera ... I would normally be very wary of shooting ISO 1600 on the 7D but no problems here and a lot more room no manouvre yet I think.

Glad you like the M5, it has kept me in the M camp. I have the 50-200 but mulling over the 11-22. I have been using the EF-S 10-18 as my UWA but recent use with the adapter fitted on the M5 has made me lean to getting the 11-22.
I ordered an M6 which my son is picking up for me on Friday and he is having my M10/15-45 combo". I have a feeling the 11-22 will be a huge temptation when the M6 arrives.
I have been reducing my remaining DSLR kit lately and my neck (which I broke last year) feels the value of the lighter bag weight!
