Re: Shutter failure and camera position
A large % of the shutter failures spoke about bent or missalined shutter blades. This one sounds like a switch. The M8 sounds like it's a lot more complicated to put together than a M7 or MP, and plenty of folks had QC problems with those, so it doesn't surprize me at all that M8's fail from a bunch of different causes. This one sounds more like an assembly screwup (maybe switch not attached well enough), while the one's with bent blades sounds more like a bad batch of shutters. All speculation, bottom-line is it's all fixable even if it's a pissoff to give up a $5.5K camera for a couple months at a crack.
