Dpreview posted the EOS-M5 review and concludes:

The M5 represents Canon’s continued commitment to the EOS M system, which we’re happy to see, and we should reinforce that for folks who think they may want to get into shooting video as well as stills, the EOS M5 will make that far easier than most of the competition. The M5 is, on the whole, a solid and capable camera for a wide variety of photography. Unfortunately, in the broader context of the mirrorless camera market, we can’t help but feel a bit let down by the M5 on the whole, and are already looking forward to seeing what the next EOS M will bring.

A good step forward but still not good enough to match the very best mirrorless on the market. That said what’s also missing are many EOS-M lenses. Canon really needs to get serious here too!

EOS-M5 in Stock at Adorama, Amazon and BHphoto.

Interview: Hasselblad Asia featuring the X1D

The early Hasselblad X1D preorders are now shipping out (slowly) at BHphoto. In Europe they will ship out in 10 days at Calumet.de and at WexUK. I still haven’t found any official full review to share. I would love to see an image quality comparison between the best FF cameras and the X1D to see if there is really a major difference.

In the meantime the X1D got presented on various events in Spain and Asia. Here are a few videos:

His first review video is made with the EOS-M5. And at the end he claims this is finally a Canon mirrorless worth owning!

In case you missed it this is the GF Lens roadmap which now has been re-presented in Japan (via DC.watch). What’s also nice is that they posted this GFX shutter sound test:
