Happy you're not going to quarrel about this E3 vs M8 guys.

 From what I saw in Nathan's week, the M8 looks superior to the GF1.  
Unless the same care has not been applied to both when editing ? which  
I doubt as Nathan is very serious about his photography.
And you know I like Lumixes.
So the good news is that rumours (too) slowly confirm a new generation  
of micro and standard 4/3 from Pana and Oly.
Keep watching

Amiti?s to both of you

Philippe
