[Leica] First M8 experience

[hewthompson at mac.com (Hugh Thompson)]

Jim - speaking as someone who has had a defective camera, you should  
take it back if you are not happy, and let Leica evaluate whether it  
is defective.  With mine, I did have to wait, but got a replacement,  
which works fine.

Now I must say that I received first class service from my Leica  
dealer, who has a very good working relationship with the local Leica  
rep.  So go talk to the folks in the store.

Best of luck

Hugh

BTW - I rarely take color shots with the M8, why don't you try some B&W
