My dSLRs can do it in about 4 seconds, but I gave up on the M8 after 20-30 minutes.

I have two of the SanDisk Extreme III, 2GB cards which are not on the compatible list but they work fine. I've never had a problem. Did you try taking the battery out and putting it back in? Sometimes that works with digital when nothing else does. Also try plugging the camera in with the USB cord. Always format your cards in the Leica M8, never in another camera or the computer. That can cause problems with any digital camera. Good luck!! Tina Tina Manley, ASMP, NPPA http://www.tinamanley.com _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
