I just have to ask: :)
1. Same size as the M6, but with a contoured ergonomic body. __Why?
2. Electronic shutter with 1/4000th top speed. __why?
3. Aperature prefered exposure mode (only shutter speed info in the
viewfinder). __It's so simple to use now, __ why?
4&5 fall into the same category of __why?
But if they went to all the trouble to make the "improvements" at, of
course great expense to the buyers, WHY would they need to continue making
the M6?
Just in case you didn't like the new "M7" ? :)
