What do you expect a bunch of tech heads to say? :-) I've use the state of the art cameras in low light. Nikon F5 and EOS1n. They can't touch the M6 for focusing accuracy in very low light. (That is, speed and sticking where you want the focus to stick). The F5 is very impressive in this case, but the M6 is still better, and for manual focus, which is often the case with documentary work anyway, this is the M6's benefit.
