If you're into quick-moving stuff like street photography you should go with the M7

That aperture-priority is a life-saver; you couldn't possibly set exposure, focus and get the shot in changing conditions like you encounter in street shots with an MP

If you're shooting under less fast-moving conditions (like most of what I do despite the race cars) the MP is very, very satisfying to use

I shoot my Canon digital stuff when I have to turn something around quickly for the web or someone asks me to do a project for them

I love Leica, but the M8 is a flawed product; and I'll wait for an M9 before I even consider one

Thanks
