how soon will you buy a m8/m8.2?

i guess we'll know better when prices drop. things are much more appealing when they cost less.

I'm waiting for prices on an M8 to get down to ~ US$2000 (mint w/ box). Getting close, but not quite there yet. Until then I will keep shooting full frame images with my MP, not worry about IR filters, and scan the negs at 24 megapixels.

I looked at the title of this thread and thought ... "huh!"

Of course I forgot ... with the impending release of the M9 it gives the 'bottom feeders' something to look forward to ... $1500.00 M8s'

M8 for south of 2K USD is tempting but the X1 might be in the same price bracket. i wonder how the CMOS sensor will compare with the M8.

When the 8.2s start to slump I would be interested as a second body to a M9 (if I ever get one) with a fast 50mm for my 'short tele'. I would not shoot one as an only digi body as I want seamless FL integration with film bodies.
