I dunno - I remain to be convinced. The fact that the firm drive is entirely motorized is a turn-off, as is the small magnification of the finder. I like the idea of the higher shutter speeds and the AE (I guess) but seem to be a lot of downsides for a camera that will be selling for 75% of the price of an M6... I'll wait for a hands-on review or two before I let myself get all hot and sweaty.
