Default Re: M8 debunking the theory of the M line

Guy - interesting perspective. Although I will say that for myself, I've never seen the M line as being limited to reportage. I use them for both personal & professional work (when clients have no qualms with or want film) - now some of my style when shooting event work is closer to photojournalist than event guy, but I've used the M's with flash and studio strobes.

What I can certainly see here with the M8, is a digital camera that gives long time M users the ability to go head to head with the big boys. To many, the DMR wasn't an option as some M folks simply don't shoot with SLR's. The M lenses are simply amazing...as if I have to even state this. So why not use it for studio & commercial work? Outside of being able to handle what a DSLR with a 400mm 2.8 can do at a soccer game, the M system is quite capable.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you can get out of it Guy from a commercial standpoint, in additon to what Marc can get out of it for wedding work.....
