[Leica] Slow M8 burst mode?

[richard-lists at imagecraft.com (Richard)]

It's a little surreal that all these people are now telling us that the M 
system is outdated with many flaws. Yes, we do know that, but even knowing 
all its flaws, the Ms still serve a very good function as a photographic 
tool, let alone fondling/collecting/etc. quality. The M8 continues that 
function as close as possible. So it is flawed but we like it that way :-)
