I received mine today! Black, from B&H together with a spare battery and 
two Lexar Professional 133x cards. Card works great (haven't tried the 
second one yet.)
So - who here had the patience to wait until the battery charged fully 
before trying it out?
I was working on the theory that an M6 plus a Nikon CoolScan would 
satisfy me. Last week, while scanning a roll from the M6, it suddenly 
dawned on me. I hate the scanning process. I was walking around with a 
camera and not taking pictures because if they turned out well I would 
have to scan them! That is really dumb. So I ordered the M8 last week.
The spousal unit looked at it and said "That is so much better than that 
big thing you have been using". (I was using a Nikon D200 and a zoom lens.)
I take this as a sign of approval.
So - anybody want to buy a Titanium M6 with the viewfinder upgrade this 
Friday? I must start to unload all my film stuff and buy a Tri-Elmar.
