I'm considering sometimes get some digital instrument, with my wife's camera (a Lumix) I'm an absolutely disaster, whenthe camera shot the subjet is no more in the right moment, I don' hear the "clic" and I shot several pictures of the same, I'm looking for the viewfinder, for memorize the exposition... and 2 minutes after I give the camera to my wife... I guess that even I had an M8 I'll continue doing fim for my B&W and color and familly with the digital, but I hesitate a lot if do it. On the other side there are - it seems - nice small cameras to do a first step, as the Canon G10, but I'm very used to be to the M, and now the M8 will be cheaper if you don't need the plus on the M8.2. Hmmmmmm All the best, salud! Lluis El 25/10/2008, a las 22:40, Geoff Hopkinson escribi?: > OK I REALLY want to see the shots of Lluis using an M8!!
