Now, now Christopher, that's not terribly polite ;-) Your choice of
exclamation may have been unfortunate for a comment to Reverend Kenneth as
well!!! 
Ken's getting another and very suitable tool (DSLR) for a specific
application. Ken owns quite a number of very nice REAL cameras as well, even
extending into medium format classics.

Besides, I happen to know that the M3 is going to a very appreciative home
;-)

Cheers
Hoppy M9 Guy

This guy buys a new plastic camera and then offers up a M3 for sale? Jesus.
