My problem with this Which one is the Leica thread as I've hinted at Anthony is why.
Why are you playing around with this point and shoot when you've got us all
mobilized helping you making the transition from computerized Nikon to manual
Leica M. Sure the T5 a great camera but when are you going to learn to use your
Leica?. There are lots of great cameras in the world but this is a list
particularly attuned towards Leica particularly attuned towards Leica M and many
of us here have been against all odds glad to help you get the kinks out. But
here you are playing one camera against the other. Can't put your Nikons and
point and shoots and digitals down for one minute? Why should we care about you?

I have lots of great classic and otherwise cameras of a variety of formats but
when I got my M6 I must say I gave most of them a rest. A good long rest. The
Nikons have been pretty much resting for 6.5 years. The M6 was and is a whole
different ball of wax than my Nikons and Hasselblads and took some real
commitment to getting used to. 

I've expressed some doubt on you commitment. Are you taking toward your M6?. Are
you loving it? Are you giving it a fair shot? Because you're juggling your huge
commitment to digital cameraa, point and shoots and Nikons and its boring and I
would say that to anyone not just our latest punching bag: you. I suggest you
put all your other toys away and play with your new M6 for a Month. Give it a
fair shot! There are some here and I am one of them who would be willing to
guide you through some of the rough spots. But I for one will not if I continue
to feel like you are toying with us.

"Oh my! my point and shoot does just as nice as my M6 I can't tell the
difference in this little scan!" is that supposed to win us over?
It's called a troll. You are just trying to get a rise out of us it would seem!
I'm not suggesting Leica worship. I'm just saying give the system a fair shot. 

IF we are just a minor passing toy in your toy box why should we care about all
you millions of questions? 
Put your other toys away and concentrate on us!
