I normally think highly of the DP Preview and look to them often. But now
I'm looking at them ever so slightly askance..
To have a milestone camera such as the M8 reviewed by a guy who was so
outside the loop like that was way beneath them. They should have dug up a
reviewer who knew what was going on not some guy using a rangefinder for the
first time and seemed un aware of Leica prices which have never been on the
cheep side. 

In other words at at least a reviewer who'd used M's at least at one point
in their career. Which is how any other M camera would normally get reviewed
by just about any source of reviews.


"gee do I line up the little box in the middle so there are 2 eyes instead
of 4 wow no mirror black out!"
