I think this means that the M6 was the sixth item on the list of top 25
cameras.  It is not intended to rank them in any order of priority.
Simply, it was the sixth camera reviewed in the article.  It could have
been the first or twenty-fifth item reviewed; it still was considered one
of the top 25, based on the somewhat eccentric criteria the magazine
decided to use.
