My understanding from all the complaints I hear on the LUG concerning M6s,
is that the faults are usually present out of the factory.  I never hear
complaints about premature failure of a camera that was otherwise working
fine.  In other words, there is no obvious evidence that an M6 will fail
any more frequently than an M3.
