For those who have used both an R-D1 and M8 -- how much actual 
difference is there in the feel and image quality?  I really like the 
idea of a  digital rangefinder capable of using Leica M glass.  
However,  $6000 is cost prohibitive for me and I'll bet for many other 
"advanced amateurs".  Used R-D1 are priced within my grasp.  What am I 
giving up for the $4000 difference?  I figure that the digital 
technology in either camera will be obsolete long before the hardware 
wears out.
