For the Weekend
Since a lot of questions here on RFF tend to get repeated every so often (and I know I am guilty of this as well), I decided to go through and compile a list of M mount camera comparison threads. It is probably incomplete, so if you find one I missed, let me know and I will add it. I hope this will be useful for those who are having trouble deciding which M camera is the right one for them.

Please note that I have not thoroughly read every single one of these all of the way through, so if any of these threads veer off in to heretofore unknown depths of off-topicness, I apologize.
