A lot better high ISO performance than the M240, a quieter shutter, a larger buffer/faster processor, quicker responses all around, a higher resolution add on finder with GPS built in and a better menu layout. But significantly, the same body size as an M6TTL, or M7. I don?t want/need more pixels. Improved responsiveness and a better sensor (not the SL or Q one) are always welcome.
