It's bringing people into the fold that have never used an M before...and that is just what Leica needs.
Very cool to see you add a second body and dumping the D2X!

Yeah, I didn't mention that I kept my D200, though, did I?
Interestingly, I'm seriously considering adding a Leica film body to my stable. It seems folly to go back to film after about 4 years of digital shooting, but I have a visceral attraction to the idea. A lot of it has to do with the nose of the M8 though, I'm very int discretion at the moment.
Incidentally, I will pile on to the firmware discussion about the difference in the shutter sound between 1.09 and 1.092. The new camera has 1.09 on it whist my old body was updated, and there is a distinct difference between the sounds. There's a distinct "click" before the "original" shutter sound of 1.09.
