Eric, I contribute occaisonally,lurk always. I delete most of the stuff
found here but always open your stuff. I like your insight and ending
quotes. But why are you picking on the G2. You say it is not a professional
camera couched by 'in the terms a M6 is'. Keep in mind that there are
different types of professionals. You, being a PJ have a certain crieteria,
also your opinion carries weight. But I think, before you put your kabash on
a camera system think about your audience. When I first started 20 years ago
I listened to every word the "pros" said. Now I look for good glass and
cameras that meet my needs, that feel good.
 I own both camera systems and find that each has it's place. I wear glasses
and find the viewing system easier on the G with the 28 and 35 lenses. I
admit being a older photographer the eyes are going but I find the AF faster
than I am with the M. Now I also post on the G site the things I like about
the M (confirm focus, lens scale, quiet)so come on hold hands and get along.
