M8 or M7

[jaapv]

Within 3 or 4 years the M8 is an 'oldfashioned' camera!

Digital techniques are developing faster than you can buy a camera!

Well, that is nothing new... Leica M cameras have been oldfashioned since 1972. In the meantime we'll have to wait and see what the market has to offer in digital rangefinders by then. Not much, I wager. Meanwhile the M8 is an excellent camera and I suspect the quality of the prints turned out will be the same then as it is now - so it would only worry me if I were a used camera trader.

thanks for rhe input everyone. I got my M7 two weeks ago and I carry it with me everywhere. Ive only shot 4 rolls so far, but I think these 4 rolls are some of the best pictures rhat i have ever taken. I will share them with you guys once I get my film scanner.

nice. congrats on your new camera.

Thanks. I am enjoying it a lot. I've had it on me everyday, and it is quite possibly one of the best things I have ever purchased.
