Most of your complaints can be addressed by setting the camera up the right way. Learn how to use the camera first, then review it. The M6 is highly configurable, and can be set to most people's liking. Perhaps, even after learning how to use it, you'll still have complaints. But please, don't waste our time with complaints that it doesn't function the way you want it to right out of the box. As for battery life, that is just the nature of mirrorless. I would say that I trust you don't have to have it explained to you that operating in live view all the time drains the battery quite a bit, but, given your post, I can't assume that even the most obvious things are obvious to you. That said, I have two spare batteries, and have never needed more than one. It's very rare for me to have to change the battery in the middle of the day, but when I do, it takes 10-15 seconds. If you want to whine about that, I guess some people are never satisfied.

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.
