I really like the classy look of the chrome M8, however, I heard two complaints about chrome.
1. It attracks more attention.
2. It can create distracting reflections.
On #1, I wonder how true this is? After all, most environments are filled with metal objects. I would think a small camera with some metal trim would not stand out among the world of metal that surrounds us. Besides I would think the black camera would create a void of blackness on your face. This would seem equally attention getting.
On #2, It seems that the Leica camera isn't really a shiny chrome. Looks more like a brushed metal. I would think this is not such a highly reflective surface. Any comments or real life experiences?

@1 Only with camera experts Most Cellphones/P&S camera's are some kind of metallic plastic nowadays.
@2 This argument is usually advanced by photographers who see no harm in "protective" filters.
