Subject: [Leica] M8 and IR Issue...missed marketing Opportunity for Leica?

Check out this fuji camera:

http://www.dpreview.com/news/0701/07010403fujifilmfinepixis1.asp

Camera is extra sensitive to IR and is used for "special" purposes, but 
can be used for "normal" photography with the use of an IR cut 
filter....they made it this way on purpose...sounds a lot like Leica's 
mistake.

Maybe Leica needs to que up a new marketing campaign and rave about the 
virtues of this "problem"?
