Geoff, come on. I post more pictures than most people :-)

Knock yourself out http://www.imagecraft.com/pub/Portfolio09, guess
which camera is what

http://www.rfman.com, look at the Proof section

Olympus Colors? Take this:

Look really!!! ENJOY YOUR M8 :-)

Most people make claims (I will leave Tina out of this one :-) )
because they want to justify their expense. It's OK with me. I don't
care if you spend $8888.88 for a M9. I would too, if I have $8888.88.
Really.
