[Leica] M6 vs M7 question

[keirst at fas.harvard.edu (keirst@fas.harvard.edu)]

Hi Vicki et al,

Other notable improvements of the Leica M7 over the M6 and M6 TTL:

1) The M7 has more accurate shutter speeds, especially at 1/1000 
sec., and extra slow speeds below 1 sec.
2) The M7 does not have funny little gear noises after firing at slow 
shutter speeds like older M cameras. 3) The M7 display counts up in 
seconds during long time exposures on Bulb, which is really nice for 
night photography on a tripod (my favorite new feature).
4) The M7 can do manual high speed flash sync with an Metz MZ54 flash 
and appropriate SCA 3502 adapter, for manual fill flash in daylight 
(though only for relatively close distances and with manual shutter 
speeds 1/250, 1/500 and 1/1000 sec).
