I've never used a plain M6. The layout of the back is very strongly like that of the DMR - whose ergonomics I find absoultely first rate - and it could be the source for the photoshopped image. I agree that the battery door could be on the bottom but there has to be ROOM for the battery and the electronics and I don't see room - the size of the camera appears to be identical to that of an M6/7. But there needs to be room for the shutter, the sensor on the film plane - and that's going to be thicker than film is. I just don't believe this image. Not to mention the huge eyepiece.
