Since we?re having ample rain all of a sudden here in DC I cruised into the 
Leica store and tried the new M.

I agree with what Bob wrote below. I liked the feel of the camera a lot. The 
EVF is a step or maybe even two back from the one on my NEX-7 though. I 
didn?t realize how much I rely on having the camera recognize I?ve brought 
the EVF up to my eye and automatically turning it on. Not to have that 
happen was irking.

I think what I?ve read Bob write is how I?d probably feel if I had a chance 
to use one for a few days.
