There is no doubt that bigger is better but if 35mm film was good enough for you then a 1.33 10 megapixel sensor should be too (IME). It is perfectly clear that digital sensors are, size for size, way better than film - anybody who has used a premium miniature camera such as a minox will have noticed this, P&S digicams have sensors a tiny fraction of the size of the minox negative yet give obviously superior results. Certainly if you need your lenses to have the same field of view on both your film and digital cameras then Canon is the answer but if you are wanting the equivalent quality from digital as film the M8 looks good to me, I will be getting one in about 12 months once the waiting list is shorter I hope. I was quoted March delivery if I placed a deposit yesterday.
