"it doesn't take a lot of intelligence to run it! :) One of the reasons I'd leave well enough alone with the M6 is the word KISS! "Keep It Simple Stupid!" Now every photographer has heard or seen that sometime during their career and it aptly applies to the M6! I don't know what the big deal is to change anything to any more than what it is. A beautiful very simple straight forward picture taking amchine! Most of the innovations being asked for in the imaginary new M whatever, is derived from all the whiz bang electronics available in the lesser quality cameras, both RF and SLR. As Far as I'm concerned the only improvement required to make the M6 "BETTER" is bring the price down! Then many more photographers will have the pleasure of using them! ted
