m8 serial number help...

[Johnny_Johnson]

i just bought one with series 3109XXX and its on the way from USA, will it has any problem with that series number? it marked as new and unused but the series number has been registered. i'm worry there might have some faulty after reading this thread.

I purchased a new M8 in that serial number range last November from Calumet. So far it has been problem free.

Later,
Johnny

Not to highjack the tread, but is serialnumbers in the 3329XXX range at the end of manufacturing line?

3106xxx are good from the factory, IMHO.

3106xxx - no issues.

this is a relief! mines is also 3106***, as far as i know, it hasn't been to solms ever. i'm not sure though, i wish it came with a warrantee card.

Mine is 3109..has the vertical line.... won't send it in until it dies. I love this friggin camera. Pixelfixer when necessary.

If it breaks..fix it.
Best camera and experience I've ever had.

thanx folks! i read all this and decided one of the kurland demo's had my name on it. the price was right and i have a warranty should i happen to need one!
now i'm going to the curb to wait for the delivery driver for a few days...

I am sure there will be lots of people that dont agree.... BUT.....
Speaking from experience......
I would not use large Memory cards 4 GB at the most.
And dont use Sandisk. I lost files with my 8GB sandisk cards.
But some people have no problem?
Batteries. Not so much a problem with M8 as M9.
But be aware that you may have issues with 3rd party batteries.
Mine would sometimes freeze. Have to take the battery out to get it to work again. or just not recognise it had a fully charged battery.
If you leave it in for a while it would usually wake up eventually.
Great results, but long gone.......
