Because I enjoy using it more than my Nikon D70 or any other camera I've ever used and the quality of the pictures are vastly superior to anything else I've ever used. I guess that's what we all want in the long run...a camera that we love to us and that gives us results that satisfy us. I'm not sure if I'll ever get an M8 but I do know that I'll be using my M6 for a long, long time. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frank Dernie" <Frank.Dernie@btinternet.com> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug@leica-users.org> Sent: Saturday, October 28, 2006 5:41 AM Subject: Re: [Leica] M8 and the Future > Depends on your opinion of "vastly superior".
