Yup it is a learning curve... but not that intimidating. If I were you I would rent an M8 for a week or so to try it out... or buy an inexpensive film RF. It would be a shame to spend that much money and not use the camera (although you could always sell it).

I made the transition but do use my D80 with the 18-200 zoom from time to time when the situation is more in line with its capabilities than the M8's.

Good Luck

Mike
