I'd not have wanted to wait for the 8.2. As most of you know it was love at first feel for me. ;~) Would I like to have an 8.2? sure. (like to have one of those Lotus cars Frank recommended too.) However, if I had M8.2 cash to spend on another digital camera. I'd probably pickup one of the CFV refurbished backs to put my CM back in service. I'd love to hear/feel the 8.2 shutter sometime. I do not particularly like the sound/feel of the M8 shutter. Yet given that everything else about the M8 works just fine for me the shutter's never felt like a deal breaker.
