The Japanese are fascinated with "features", so fascinated that it's almost a disease like autism where no feature is valued more than another so the user is forced to figure out what might be important. The user manuals appear to be written by people who have never taken a photo in their lives but who like legos a lot. We deserve better than this. Personally I think the Onion got it right about Sony (it's from The Onion and since "stupid piece of shit" is in the title you've been warned.) <http://www.theonion.com/video/sony-releases-new-stupid-piece-of-shit-that-doesnt,14309/> The most redeeming quality of the new M is its user interface.
