OK, you guys want a camera that is intuitive, and is not a Leica, but you'll
come back with something?  Forget the N1 and the VR and all that AF stuff,
here's the be-all and end-all of convenient alternate cameras.

Go to Walmart and get yourself a Fujifilm Mega flash QuickSnap SuperSlim
camera.  Cost? under $10 with film.  You don't have to remember which way
the focusing wheel goes, or where it is,:'cause it ain't there.
The shutter button (with what looks like a Braille marking on it) is in
about the same relative place as on an M6.  The only thing you need to do
mannally is turn on the flash if needed.

If it confuses you, the operating manual is printed on the back of the
camera.  Accessory camera strap is included in the package.

Or, you could just go out and shoot the M6, instead.....
