Well this post is about the M8. So MODS please don't move it.

I have been a Leica M8 user since January of 2007 and had Leica M film cameras before and since getting a M8.

Recently I've been looking (thinking about) getting something in the P&S range of cameras that I can carry with me when it just isn't convenient to carry the M8. Problem is they just aren't a Leica M. Yes I know the D-Lux 4 is a good camera for what it is and I've been thinking and looking at the Olympus Pen. But the image quality just doesn't match the M8.
Not only that but these types of cameras just have to many menus, option, dials and buttons.
I like turning the focusing and aperture rings and looking through a viewfinder. I don't like trying to remember which dial does what and when depending on what shooting mode you are in.

Since getting a M8 I really have no desire for any other camera but it would be nice to have something that I can just tuck into a pocket and go.
