WHY? Because the camera in my hands is quick, unobtrusive and it's easy to carry three of them at one time to avoid changing lenses. Many of the concerns some people have aren't worth asking or even considering. Certainly after using an M8 for a few years now for work and family-friends Happy Snaps, if one is thinking about buying an M8 get over the thought concern process, just go get it at the best price you can and get on with your picture taking no differently than using an M4 - M6 - M7! Sure there were a couple of minor glitches, but most can be over come by disregarding them and get on with the job and fun of shooting. I think many of the concerns occur from folks "over thinking their concerns" rather than get the damn camera and get out taking pictures. It still goes back to KISS... LIGHT - EYES - ACTION - CLICK! Then throw in an 8 gig or higher card and shoot your brains out for weeks or months! Or if it's a busy day all in one day! :-) ted
