I would LOVE to have an M8 to use putting my set of Leica glass to use again
if not just for a while. I imagine though I'd so most my shooting with my 21
ASPH. Giving me an effective 28mm point and shoot.
Actually a while might be better than a long term thing.

Not to be too much of a royal pain but if I found Nikon D3 under my pillow
it would get no rest for years. The walls of the neighbor would be plastered
with 30x40's from it; maybe 17x22's which I can for sure do now right in my
little apartment which what I've got.

" The editors of American PHOTO crowned the Nikon D3 the Camera of the Year,
applauding its light-gathering capabilities and amazing firing rate. They
were also impressed with the Live View AutoFocus and overflow/backup memory
card slots along with many other advanced features that allow the Nikon D3
to shine over its competitors. Editors also found that the D3?s large
viewfinder and prodigious responsiveness make you feel like you?re taking
better photos."
