I like the camera very much and have been very pleased with its performance. Lately, however, I have heard that M5 prices are going up as they become more collectable. I would conservatively rate the M5 at mint-, with only a couple of v. small marks near the hinge on the back. I am primarily a user and not a collector. Am I putting a "collectors piece" at risk by using it? Should I sell/trade the M5 and get something more recent? I am leaning toward an M6 because I like to have a built-in meter avaliable when I want it. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. M. Cenzer - -- Matthew A.
