I had to do some macro and some tele work to day so I used my Canon EOS gear and the cameras felt really clumsy compared to my M6 and SWC/M - if you are not a news or sport photog keep it simpel and enyou the simplicity of your camera. By the way talking about (svtually not talking about) awfull Bokeh - I got some shots for a book from a news photog using Nikon digital SLR camera and the blurred backgrounds on some of the pics. were so unpleasing to look at I got sort of a sea sick feeling. I wonder is that bad Bokeh or the digital revolution?
