Now, why would I spend the money on a slower shutter just to make it a bit quieter, when the noise is not that bad as it is. The noise is the winder not the shutter, so this does not seem to be addressing the real problem. I have yet to put any scratches on the LCD on the back, so why do I need a harder surface for the LCD? I would rather have lower noise at the higher ISO's, and a menu for the lens I am using, for the lenses that cannot be coded. Unless there are some real performance gains, I'm going to keep my money, and keep using my M8 the way it is now. gene -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Jerry Lehrer <glehrer@san.rr.com> > > Frank und Jim, > > Looks like someones "buyers remorse" is going to be even "remoresier"! > > 1200 EUROS is about 2 kilobux isn't it? > > Jerry > > > Frank Filippone wrote: > > I think they did this once before..... early in production...
