I have been using my newest camera - the M240 and my older new camera - the MM daily walking the streets and taking photos. I haven't downloaded but a few photos so my comments are more about the use of the cameras and not the performance. In case you are on the fence wondering which one to get, my comments might help. One thing I love about the MM and hate about the M240 is response time. When I put my MM up to my eye, it is ready to shoot. Press lightly on the shutter as I bring the camera up and I can take a photo immediately. With the M240, I press lightly on the shutter, bring it up to my eye, and wait and wait and wait. I'm sure it's a matter of seconds but compared to the MM, it is forever! I've lost several decisive moment photos because the M240 wasn't ready to take a photo. It's very frustrating. I'm sure I notice it even more because the MM is so responsive, but using both at the same time, it's driving me crazy. Batteries seem to last much longer in the M240 unless I leave it on in the bag and the movie button gets pushed accidentally. I have to be sure and turn it off, which makes the response time even longer ;-) Hope this helps. I'm picking olives tomorrow with a group of school children. Photos will follow when I have time to download some! ,Tina -- Tina Manley http:// <http://tina-manley.artistwebsites.com/>www.tinamanley.com
