Dan,

I take issue with you.

The M5 is a fine camera. It is just too big and heavy. This is due to the
technology of the time. Today, we should be able to have an M5 in an M4
package. Also, this new camera would have other features, which have been
perfected in the last three decades.

Best regards,

Chris
