This is worse. This guy posted this on *Lightstalkers,* which if you don't know is a forum for high level international photojournalists and the like. I read it, but (obviously) don't post to it.
"Hi Guys, I am new to this forum. How I found it was due to the big question most of you have (had?) on the M8. Im considering buying a M8 for about US$5k in Malaysia but am constantly being talked out of it by my Nikon D3 hugging buddies.
My needs are simple. I gave up my film SLRs more than 7 years ago for simple P&S cameras as I grew sick of carrying heaps of equipment whenever Im on vacation etc. Having grown up on a Nikon FM with a 50MM f1.2 which I inherited from my Uncle back in the 80s. I went on to buy a 801s which then gave way to a N90. Over time, that itch for a better camera was shortly satisfied by a Lumix LX-2 which gave me some form of SLR control.
My needs are simple. Nowadays, I take mainly pictures of the family, vacation and my toys. I would like a camera that I can take everywhere without being bulky and most of all, the incognito look and feel of the Leica. More importantly, it must be able to take fairly good indoor photos without a flash hence good high ISO performance is essential (DARN!! The new Nikon D3 is fantastic in this area).
