IIIg has flash synch, a "bright line" 50mm viewfinder that is slightly easier to see with glasses, a 90mm indicator in the 50mm frame, and is taller. It really doesn't fit in a shirt pocket, even with the Elmar lens. The IIIg film takeup spool fits the M3/M2 and is more easily replaced when you lose it. The IIIg is 10 years newer. The IIIc is easier to repair. The M4-P doesn't have a built-in light meter. The M5, CL, and M6 have built-in meters. Good luck!
