That is a real bummer. I really want the M8. But the Canon 1D2 has 
spoiled me. I get around 1500 pictures per battery charge, even in the 
winter. I live in a place that is cold in the winter, perhaps not by 
Canadian standards but cold enough to affect batteries. So, from what I 
hear, if I go for a walk in Amsterdam with the M8 this time of year, the 
battery will be dead before I have filled up a 1GB card. That is just 
unacceptable. Perhaps they will sell enough of them to make it 
worthwhile for aftermarket battery makers to produce non-Leica batteries.
