More than I expected, in a good way

I originally came looking for the M5 as the perfect Vlogger camera, along with the occasional B roll and video shots I need to get from time to time. The Internal Stabilization is great for video and does everything I expected it to, which makes editing a breeze later. Video quality is also really good. But one thing i wasn't expecting was for the I.S. to be SO good that I can shoot at shutter speeds blow 1/3 of a second hand held and still get a sharp Image! What?! its great, not that you need that all the time but just think of all the epic stills you can get hand held at lower ISO's now.
as for Cons: ISO performance is ok. Nothing close to current DSLR's like my Nikon D750, but still ok. the sensor is APS-C and its mirrorless so that tends to be the standard honestly. Just know that you will start getting some noticable noise around 6400 ISO (but still usable depending on your taste) If you are a perfectionist, then its not for you.
The focusing system is great, but again coming from DSLR's it could be more accurate, and it could be faster. Continuous focus in still shooting is iffy and can sort of miss and overcompensate alot. On video however its pretty spot on and shifts focus SUPER smoothly.
and lastly. I hate the multi page menu system. Id rather just scroll down through all related options in one tab rather than have 4 tabs just for camera settings that i need to scroll through sideways, along with all the other tabs.

Final thoughts: Great video camera, for Short takes, B-roll, and Vlogging thanks to that flip down screen that makes you look like you are always looking at your audience. Could be better focus, and noise performance wise, and with a neater menu but if you can get past that, its a great little camera for when you don't want to lug around the heavy beasts that DSLR's tend to be.
