Keith Matson who is the Leica Sale CoOrdinator in Canada for Leica USA was there with much Leica equipment on display at Eight Elm Camera a noted Leica dealer in Toronto. I have to say I was really amazed at a large print on display taken with the M8. It was I believe 20 x 30 or larger and it was superb. I took a few shots in the store with the M8 and was not taken aback at all by the sound of the shutter or "whirring" noise after the shutter is snapped. In fact my wife who was sitting three feet away said she could not even hear the sound. If you have been reading the Leica User Forum recently perhaps you have seen the commentary by David Adamson in Washington who is a professional printer. He has been amazed at the quality of the digital files he has been printing. Some photographers who live in the area have gone by his studio to check out the files he is printing and have been blown away by the quality. I guess seeing in person is believing. Scott
