I with Sonny and George here. What's the point of spending all this money on 
a good camera and then worry about cosmetic damage? 

I will admit that I have other cameras than the M8, and depending on the 
situation, I take the Fuji X100, or the M8, or the Pentax K5. The choice is 
certainly never driven by the relative cost of those outfits, rather by the 
type of shooting I expect to do.

And I am an amateur.

Cheers,
Nathan
