No mention of new sensor so it *must* still be only 6.1MP? But then who
knows that small sensors are still available :-)

The LCD is larger but fixed, no more swiveling. The shutter is "better,"
presumably quieter? Comes with a grip and support for up to 32 GB SDHC.

The street cost is probably ~$2000, so around $500-$800 cheaper than an M8.

Things not mentioned: write time? Any faster? Any sensor improvement?
