Subject: [Leica] M8 Photokina Report (+ smidge on ZI and CV) **WITHCORRECT URL LINK**

I could live with just about any shutter sound. After a dozen or so
frames I'd be used to it. If the M8 handles like a classic M, and from
all reports it sounds like it does, I'm sold. 

The most interesting thing I read in Dave's blog was that he might buy a
Mac just to use Apple's software. Is computer hardware becoming so
inexpensive that it makes sense to buy a system simply for an
application? Or can an application be so good that it justifies the cost
of a different system?

Crank up your speakers, the first sound is the M7 and the second one  
is from the M8, courtesy of DP Review: http://www.dpreview.com/
