Are there serious disadvantages to the M4-P vs the M6?? No meter. Otherwise practically identical. The M4-P is a great camera. They're built well, aren't TOO expensive, although prices have gone up almost 25% this year alone. One ADVANTAGE of the M4-P v. the M6 is that on the Canadian camera the RF window and the viewfinder window are set into the body about 1.5mm. while the glass on the M6 is flush with the front surface of the top cover. I think this makes those surfaces more vulnerable to scratching and damage. As a user body, provided you address the meter problem with something accurate and reliable, the M4-P is a good choice at a fraction of the cost of an M6. ben
