I think the significant thing is that those of you who are working with the M8 are enjoying the results you get and not doing alot of complaining over the performance or what features are on the camera. My only complaint is that I see the results you and others are getting with the camera, and I want one even more and SWMBO just smiles at me. ;-) Gene -------------- Original message from Tina Manley <images@InfoAve.Net>: -------------- > At 08:38 PM 12/7/2006, you wrote: > >I'd be interested to see differences in finished prints.
