Try it, Harrison, and you'll be hooked ;-) I don't depend on the M8 (or any other one camera), always carrying my 5D, too, but I love my M8 and have had no mechanical or electronic problems with it. I'm currently using the loaner M8 from Leica while mine is being updated. This loaner has obviously been well-used - probably loaned out many times at Leica events and used by many people. It has no problems at all. Imagine combining all of the reasons you use a rangefinder with all of the reasons you use digital - that's the M8 ;-) Tina Tina Manley, ASMP, NPPA http://www.tinamanley.com
