In the midst of all the depreciation;
Are the pictures. The work. The results.
Those no one can take away from you. And people have gotten fantastic
results from M8's.
A camera is a tool; not a percentage of your total individual wealth.

In the year 2525 the M8 will be viewed as the first digital M Leica had ever
made. The digital Leica 0. Because it is.  Put yours in a safe with
desiccant - its bound to be worth zillions some day. I'm more interested in
the value of my photographs.
