Do you still have the M8 Gary and if not do you miss its rendering style? I\'m soooooooo close to buying either an M8 or M9 just because I want to experience its rendering.
Funny you ask… I sold the M8 to raise funds for the M240. I was seriously considering the M9 but decided to opt for the the M240 due to the additional functions and performance for my needs. However, I do wish I could have afforded to keep the M8 as well due to the different output. I really don\'t \"miss\" that unique character of the M8 but if money was no option I would still have it today. When I owned the M8, I really enjoyed using it but was frustrated with the poor high ISO performance and difficulty with getting the proper color balance. At low ISO, the M8 was absolutely superb. I think with the current prices of the M8/M9 - you really can\'t go wrong to try it out. If you have the money, I would recommend the M9.
