Well, I haven't ordered one yet. I'll probably get one, but i'm not 
in a rush. If the B&W M8 comes out, I'll definitely get one.

There are some things I don't like about it, like the meter pattern 
and the whole exposure compensation/exposure lock situation, but 
overall I think the camera is very good. Part of the problem is, the 
Leicas are mainly a hobby thing for me, while I make money with the 
Canons. But I'll get over that. :-)
