I agree totally.  As I review my files from India, I can really see a 
difference.  I hate it when I photo I thought I had taken with the M8 
turns out to have been taken with the 5D.  The detail with the M8 is 
so much better that I can crop and enlarge much more without worrying 
about interpolation artifacts.  And the lack of fringing on wide 
angle shots with the M8 saves me hours of time in photoshop.  If I 
could just use the M8 for close-ups and telephoto, I wouldn't have to 
carry that heavy 5D!
