My M8 experience, mine and two loaners, has been perfect. No problems 
with any of them.  On the other hand, I would never go on a trip or 
assignment without a backup.  Right now, my backup is a Canon 5D.  I 
would much rather have another M8 except for those situations when I 
need close-up or telephoto lenses.  I used to spend months in Central 
America with nothing but a couple of M6's so I'm sure if I had a 
couple of M8's I could do the same.  With digital you do have to be 
more careful so I couldn't dip them in the river to clean them like I 
could with my M6's =-O   Anybody want to buy some M6's? :-)

Don't ever travel without at least one backup camera!!
