And greater wisdom! Sure the M8 has it's bugs and yes some folks are buying it.....And yes it costs a dollar or two more than many of us would like to pay! Bottom-line? Hey if you can't afford it...... don't fret it, as there are some of us idiot's who can, so let us be in our stupidity! Who the heck cares? I had some folks almost puke their guts out when they learned I bought 3 M7 bodies! Why did I do it? Lot's of negative reasons by others. But ...WHY? Because I always work with 3 M camera's and has nothing to do what other people may think.... Quite frankly unless they work in identical fashion on similar assignments. Please keep quiet! Quite simply because those of us who work... naw it isn't work! Those of us who love our life style career of picture taking do our thing because we do it in the way that brings us great satisfaction in the end results!!!! The number of cameras used means nothing as we see them merely as different types of tools because each has a different lens! Now we have the M8. :-) Heck it isn't any different! Yep it would be nice if it came out of the box as simply as an M7 and click, click! In some cases it appears it doesn't! Big deal! It's out and if you purchase one don't bother the world with your problems. Fix it, shoot your stuff and get on with your picture taking life! If one has a problem, sort it out, but you really don't need to tell us you have problem. WHY? Well I'd say, if it's a problem we'll find out on our own! Thank you very much! We really don't need the confusing assistance of people who've never had the camera in their hands! Or a few frames or so! Take it softly now, it's not a big deal! So don't get all fussed up and cantankerous in response! Because if you do not work with your cameras as I do and some of the rest of the crew on assignments .... quite frankly? Whatever!!;-) Save your breathe and key time! That is of course, we'd appreciate your most kind positive response. :-) ted
