The humidity today in York, SC, is 98%.  That's pretty normal for 
August in South Carolina.  My M8's are working fine.  I take them in 
rain without even thinking about it.  I try to avoid going scuba 
diving with them, but have submerged them in water.  As far as I'm 
concerned Leica has figured it out as well as any other digital 
camera company.  My daughter spilled a drop of water (condensation 
from her iced tea glass) on her Canon 40D at a restaurant and it quit 
working.  I sent it in to Canon and it can't be fixed for the less 
than the replacement cost of the camera.
