Couldn't agree more.  Vermeer didn't have one and his images did not suffer
because of it.

I want one (and the emphasis is on "want") because it's the best solution
for the street photography I want to do here in Afghanistan available to me
at this time.  Owning this camera will not make me a better photographer.
It will only offer me a better tool.  If I were at home, in the US, I
probably would not buy one.  I'd "get by" with an M3 or M6.
