 There ARE more products today made better than comparable products of 50
 years ago (cameras included), but just ask people like Sherry Krauter at
 Golden Touch Camera Repair if that applies to M4's vs. the new M6's being
 produced today, comparing part to part. You can probably reverse, to some
 extent, what you said below. I own both an M6 and M4 and LOVE both, but the
 M4 IS a better built camera. The super accurate meter makes the M6 more
 convenient, but in most situations I can come close enough without the meter
 or using an incident reading, and that makes shooting much faster for me.

It is good to know what those who must work on the M's have to say about the 
old versus the new and it confirms the fact that "bean couunters" just do not 
know quality nor how to produce it as reasonable costs.
