You have to make some concessions to it, you have to use the ir filters, some of your lenses won't like it. I've gotten more corrupt files from it than any other camera; weird stuff that I've not encountered before. I don't 100% trust it (I could also say that also about the d-200, but would never say that about an M6, M7 maybe...) All that being said, I wouldn't do without it. It wasn't a seamless transition by any means from my m6 or 7 and obviously I'm still coming to terms with it. It's a joy to use my m glass on something higher res than the epson. I've noticed that it gives me a cloak of invisibility. People assume that you aren't a pro when you shoot with this old fashioned looking camera.
