I know, I know.  I'm really worried.  That's why I'm taking two of them and 
I'll try to be really, really careful.  They are small enough that I can 
keep them in a waterproof pocket somewhere. But I'm not switching!   I'll 
always have my M's.  It would just be so nice not to feel like I'm drowning 
in film and so far behind in scanning that I'll never catch up.  I can 
return from Honduras  and download the digital files straight to the 
computer and then into a Powerpoint presentation copied to CD for 
distribution to all of the hunger relief agencies within a week of my 
return.  Assuming that I don't drop the cameras in a river, or run out of 
batteries, or end up with corrupt files, or lose the tiny, very expensive 
SD cards.  So I'm still carrying M's  - just in case -and to use the 
Noctilux  ;-)
