Austin, the compensation is like driving two different cars.  If you drive a
pickup truck and a Porsche 930 your approach to driving will be different.
With the truck you will give yourself more room to brake and not use your
right foot to navigate traffic.  With the Porsche you can leave yourself
very little room to stop and can frequently move through even dense traffic
with the loud pedal.  Likewise, with a common SLR like the Canon Rebel the
clock time can go to 200ms, so if you are trying to capture your children in
motion you will try to anticipate what will happen in 1/5 of a second and
time your shutter release accordingly.

My comment was meant to inform seasoned users that have mastered the M that
at first, their fleeting moment images will not be the same.  Of course,
posed, still life, studio, and abstract photography will not change with the
new camera.
