[Leica] Slow M8 burst mode?

[jbcollier at shaw.ca (John Collier)]

I hope not myself. Anything beyond 2 or 3 frames per second is not  
necessary in a basic rangefinder. Leica would be making a big mistake  
if it tried to cast the M8 as a camera for every situation. The Ms  
best feature is its lack of features. There is nothing to get in the  
way. There are other cameras out there with enough features to render  
them almost unusable. Please leave the M alone.
