I am not sure what else there is to say.
I've already told you via email that I can't rent, borrow, or try out an M8 in the city of Toronto from a dealer - you know this.
I've mulled over the M8 over the past 2-3 months and while there are people who think that the camera can do wonders and make files that rival every other digital camera ever made, the moment I was considering buying one I got PM after PM and emails with offers from people wanting to give theirs up because the M8 "just wasn't for them" - you'd think that if a camera was that good that people would hang onto it - I know I hang onto my 5D's.. and my M7 and M2... only way they'd go is if I was funding an upgrade but definitely not because they weren't "for me".
I'm not going to respond to this thread anymore but feel free to send me the RAW file of that image you posted here - let me look at it in Lightroom and see if I can drag back those blown highlights without having to create an "HDR" image or jumping through hoops or chanting ancient incantations whilst grinding an old 'cron into pixi dust.
Thank you,
Dave

Sorry giellaleafapmu but my unsubstantiated sources say we're going back to steam engine cars so invest wisely in hot air, or get it for free on RFF.

Blah, blah, blah, worthless comment, how exciting.
Why not just move on and leave this thread to the people who DO care?

I do wonder how much Mr Lee's exclusive interview with Amatuer Photographer mag contributed to his demises. During which he allegedly hinted that a full-frame sensor retro-fit for the M8 could be available for launch as early as Photokina this autumn; and in which he conceded "We announced the M8 before it was ready"; "When it [the full-frame model] is ready, we will do what is right".
Interesting to be informed what official reasons are presented to joe public!

PS The above factoids were attributed to an interview during Las Vegas PMA show.
