If the cropped format is no longer viable, I wonder why Canon has just 
brought out a new EOS 1D Mk IV?  They  must really be out of touch with 
reality.  Sorry Mark, but I think it is still very viable.

No the M8 is not a viable entry level camera into the Leica digital M system
at this stage of the game. The smart advice would be to wait. Wait till one
had the capital to procure an M9.

Why wouldn't Leica continue making the M8 instead discontinuing it?
Thus giving a photographer a choice in "formats". And provide an entry level
option?
Because the camera was a disaster that's why. And the cropped format is no
longer a serious option.
