Like there's a choice and you can go with a third party operating system to run these cameras! Like this is a minor issue! The software in a digital camera is the gears, springs, shafts and arms, timing devices of a mechanical camera like the M6. And to a lesser extent then a digital camera a regular film electrics based camera like is mostly in use today. Upgrade firmware on a Kodak digital camera and you have to learn how to use the thing from scratch.
