Boy, do I second that.  There seems to be a preoccupation with the M6
reliability issue and, whether founded or not, appears to be stifling folks.
I know they're a LOT of money.  And I know we're all good little
consumerists.  But, the reality is, we should be photographers first.  The
problems will be relatively minor and fixable - more nuisance value than
anything else, if indeed any problems surface at all.
