Just enough information without being a distraction. I do like having the shutter speed displayed in the finder as well, but there is a big difference (for me) between information that is displayed by virtue of natural light and LED's. True, the former won't be very visible in low light, but I prefer that price over the visual noise emitted by the diodes. In any event, it's nit-picking. The M6 is a fine tool just as it is.
