It always seems like one feature or another of the Canon has to be thought about and fussed with: which exposure mode am I using? Which focus mode? Autofocus? It all just gets in the way. The M6 is just the basics and me making choices in my head. Adam <<< Without casting aspersions on those who find the automatic features useful, I also found that fussing over the various modes and devising tricks to overcome their shortcomings or to verify their correct operation made photography more difficult and less enjoyable than using a manual-only camera. The only automatic feature I find useful is the spring-operated automatic diaphragm on my SL... and my favorite lens, the 400mm f/6.8 Telyt, doesn't even have that!
