Well, after driving back from Seattle, I had to go to Fed Ex and pick up the new toy. I am very excited now and offer many thanks to Tony at PopFlash.com for the quick service. In and out on the same day he received them 
Anyway, it is now charging and the clock seems to have stalled since I am waiting for the 3 hours to go by
First thoughts that came to my mind as I held the unit. Its not an MP It definetly does not feel as solid as the MP. This could be because I was using the MP all last night and today. So the transition from 1 to the other is not a gradual one. When I put the 24 on the camera it started feeling like a Leica then good comfy feel in the hand with that traditional feel of a solid ingot made of some exotic metal.
Anyway, I will take some boring puctures tonight. Since daylight is gone I will need to wait for some better stuff tomorrow.

Ok, strange sounding shutter. Sounds like a snap follwed by a winding of a music box

To me it sounds a bit like a Polaroid SX70.

My M5s need red dots!
Well... I was expecting your report earlier today, but some sudden eclosion of house chores didn't let me log in.
CONGRATULATIONS!!
I don't envy you the M8, let's be clear... I envy you the MP! Will you stick to film? I guess you will... after all, you also purchased the big Leica digital back.
In any event... my sincere congratulations on the new toy! ;D

Ah, that hurts!
The sound does kind of give you the impression that a print will be sliding out of the front of the camera!Regards,

I know it's not the most desired comparison but I keep getting flashbacks to the SX70 every time I take a picture with the M8. And then I look at the LCD and say to myself "Oh. THere it is."
