Re: M100 or M6

I'm puzzled about the point of this thread. Are there any advantages of the M100 over the M6, other than price? I thought the whole point of the M100 was to offer a lot, but not all, of what the M6 offers at a much lower price.

Edit: I've just looked at the dimensions. The M100 is marginally smaller in width and height. The difference is 4mm in width and 1mm in height. Could that difference really be enough for anyone to prefer it? It also lacks a grip. So, the official depth of the M100 is 10mm less, but that's the grip. If you have a lens on the camera, any lens, it will stick out more than the M6's grip. So, in terms of "advantages", the M100 is 4mm narrower, 1mm shorter, and lacks a grip. Hmm. I must be missing something. Is there something else that the M100 has that the M6 lacks, which might tempt someone to go for it, if money was no object?

As the length of a thread approaches 150, the probability that someone will make the obvious "it's not the camera, it's the photographer" remark approaches 1.
