Charlie loves photography, and the new M8 is very exciting for a lot of people including him. This thread got crazy, I think, because people are understandably skeptical about many things they read on the internet, whether it's about a new camera or about someone's identity. As a result, there was an unfortunate misunderstanding and a bit of nastiness. I think we're all past that now. Sean is more skeptical than most, and that's actually a very good quality for someone who reviews equipment. If I were about to buy this camera, I would definitely pay to read Sean's review. Because it's Leica's first attempt at a digital M, my big worry would be that it's another expensive but weak product like the Kodak 14N or the Contax N. But early impressions, including Charlie's and Sean's and others', are very favorable so far and that's great to hear. I hope it will be a great success. I'm eager to see the upcoming review on luminous-landscape.com too.
