Christian:

I've read too many post here about people fretting over the finish of their
new cameras or the dust specs in the glass. These are not real problems.

Nearly everyone I know who used the Nikon 8008s in the first 6 months it
was released had to send it back for something. These reported M6 problem
are small, and usually not fatal. 

I don't mean to minimize real problems. A broken counter should be fixed,
but I like shooting with a camera when my greatest threat is a broken
counter. If you are on a trip, or have hiked deep into the woods and your
counter stops working, you won't miss a single shot. When was the last time
you heard about a shutter problem on an M6?
