Re: Very powerful but not perfect (M6 mark ii Review)

You're a little late, now that it's discontinued. I was preparing a long post for the unwary, so they know some of the problems and workarounds, but now I don't need to.

This camera allows me to take fabulous pictures that I would otherwise not get. Except for the mechanical shutter, the quality is first-rate.

It's also a camera I have struggled with more than any other. After a couple of years or so I have finally tamed most of the complexity and handling quirks.

It would never occur to me to criticize it because it's small, or to attach a gadget just to make it larger. But YMMV.

I can't imagine the front scroll wheel going berserk. If that's happening, it's a malfunction. It seems more likely that you may have touched or gotten too close to the touch screen, which can easily mess with your settings. I now just turn the camera off when I let it hang from the strap.
