        This looks like it would be a nice addition to the "line" of cameras
but certainly not a replacement for the M6.

        As a pro user the quiet operation of the M is a major attraction.

I didn't see anything about frame/body construction materials. From the
photo it "looks" very plastic. If it is you can kiss sales good-bye.

cheers,
