I don't know how my name got below Davids post, but it doesn't matter. I 
would just like to say that my original point was not Oly E-420/Pancake vs. 
M8, but I just stated that this new DSLR combo is smaller than a M6.

I said I'm tempted, because I would use such a camera as upperclass 
autofocus point & shoot (instead of a Ricoh GR-D or Sigma DP-1), but not as 
replacement for a digital rangefinder (I have the R-D1, not the M8). The 
R-D1 is sometimes a bit big (as well as the M8 would also be) for taking 
with everywhere & anytime, especially on heavy bicycle hikes with a lot of 
altitude meters. With bike gloves and -glasses manual focusing can be a 
pain... There, the Oly could make sense for me.
