Bob,
 
The argument over the format size is mute.  It is not going to happen any 
time soon, even Zeiss has made this statement.
The world wants a digi M now, and this is the best solution.  It will sell 
like hotcakes.  I will be one of the first in line.   If it works as good as 
the DMR, and i suspect it will have improvements, it will be a great sucess.
 
Gene

M8 vs. D70... 
 
1) Behind the right eye, rangefinder focusing can be more accurate 
2) Use of M lens "sweat spots" 
3) 10.3 mp 
4) No AA filter 
5) Next gen sensor/firmware engineering 
6) Magic Solms fairy dust used everywhere except on the sensor 
 
Case closed.
