Tarek,
    While the M5 is an excellent camera, I would not choose it for my second
M camera body. I would get another M6 or maybe an M4P or an M4, if a
built-in meter is not necessary.
    The "feel" of the M5 is different. While working with an M5 alone, I had
no problems, but add another M camera, and everything became clumsy. One
can't instinctively switch back and forth easily. Most of my colleagues have
said the same thing.
Cheers,
Sal
