Get rid of the frame line selector. Simplify the frames available - 35, 50 and 90 only. Each showing only that one. Sell new, cheaper OVFs for the hot shoe for 135, 28 and 21mm. Get rid of the DX film coding (I wish my M7s didn't have that).
Build it in.....Canada.
And it will still cost $4500...
I would vote for cleaning up the framelines too. I wish I could turn them off independently on my M10-P, seems like something that could been accomplished in the year 2020.... Especially since the modern ones are LED. But I digress. Same for DX coding.... But can you not override it? The Xpan has an ISO wheel, set it to your desired ISO, or turn it to DX if you want the camera to decide.

Yes, the M7 is down to half a stop with arrow and dot, but my M6 only shows the same difference with dimmer or brighter lit arrows (no dots). The M7 exposure adjustment is much easier to see in the viewfinder especially when going after this half stop difference. I did not see a difference in the metering value itself when using both cameras in parallel. And yes, my M6 meter blinks with extreme over/underexposure confirming what you stated.
Ah, ok, thanks for confirming. Yes, in harsh light the 1/2 stop indication would be as easy to see for sure. Just trying to get all the differences right in my head, thanks for your help.
I would have preferred to get the M7 at the time, as I do like having the option of aperture priority, but when I bought my M6 they were going for quite a bit more. The gap has narrowed significantly!
