My experience with the DMR is much like Geoff's with the M8. I compared my last roll of K25 with the DMR at ISO400 and even neglecting the 4 stops faster shutter speeds the DMR whomped K25: better image detail, color quality, dynamic range. Plus the other stuff Geoff mentioned. As it turned out I was glad I had no more K25. The biggest drawback of the DMR is that I can't put it on the SL.
