Except: "Get it and don't look back." It seems that many of us who've jumped in on the M8 consider the quirks quite OK in trade for returning to use a precision range finder and Leica M glass to achieve digital capture. Others find the quirks unacceptable. The difficulty lies in determining which you will be - as it seems that the two schools of thought stand very far apart. I'm sure that some M8 user would let you have theirs for a week or two - :~) - not.
