Subject: [Leica] advice wanted for carry camera

I am Doomed...  I agree with Doug about the image quality of the DMR, but 
would rather carry the M8 as it is lighter.  I find that when I take the M8 
only, there are always images it cannot capture and the DMR with R8 can.  So 
I guess I will have to up my time at the gym and learn to carry both.  ;-)

Same for me, and my Leica isn't an M!  However we don't all have the same 
priorities.  For me, the weight of the DMR is well compensated for by the 
image quality... but YMMV.
