Well, I agree with respect to M8. The size is ok and the picture quality is good. I do like the size of my MPs a little better and the feel as well. Usually, I either have my 2 MPs or 1 MP and 1 M8 with me. Using both together is never problematic because the size factor is disturbing. Now, the shutter button on the digi-Ms goes the wrong way and that is disturbing.
The M while very tempting is simply missing the mechanical frame line selector. After much thinking this is a no-go for me. I would gladly trade video for selectable frame lines. I am guessing Leica will release some special edition and make me pay USD 1'000 for a version with mechanical frame line selectors and no red dot. So, I guess that's what I'll buy when(ever) it comes. I am not in a hurry.
Maybe they will drop the MP at that time and call such a version an MP2...
