The non-Ms are beautifully made and worth every penny (eg Q2, SL) but the Ms are beautifully made terrible technology - specifically the rangefinder: they’re delicate, need frequent servicing and can only focus down to 0.7m, so the advent of live view finally allows lenses that go closer than 0.7m to be focused. That said, I just bought a Canon 7D from 2009 and it too is beautifully made.

However, I think the digital signing is a good way to provide the photographer with proof that the picture in the paper/competition is the picture that they made with the camera and not their pal Midjourney.

Why they put it in such a sluggish contraption, I don’t know, but probably a good place to start compared to a Z9 and trying to tag pictures at 500 frames a second or whatever.
