I don't care about the live screen (all RFs have a live VF anyway) but think they fumbled in not keeping the off-center tripod socket. I like using a wooden handle there for candid photos, with my thumb hooked behind the wind lever; and without a lever on the M8, I would think the camera might not be as secure in the hand, especially on verticals.
