It's true. I was at an event last year and there were several photographers going around, one of whom had just bought an M8. Last night I was at another event at the same venue and there were two PJ's using M8's.

Statistics can be such fun

The question is if next year there are 3 using the camera does that make it a 50% increase on this year or an 300% increase overall..??

Well that really is excellent news.

And a little noticed benefit of global warming is an earleyer than usual Silly Season. Sumptuous alliteration and summer in April - wonderful.

Let's all remember what has been learnt here.

Global warming has had no impact in Wisconsin. We're actually looking forward to it. The farmers would double or triple their yield and best of all - palm trees along Lake Michigan. Ahhh...

To stay on topic; pros using M8's would flock to North Beach instead of the then flooded South Beach.

You must be a "manager reporting to the Board of Directors", talking about 300% increases when its only 200%. Going from 1 to 2 is 100% (not 200%) and increasing from 1 to 3 is 200%

In fact the increase is infinite% based on 2006 no. of M8 photojournalists

Well I was at an Obama event in PA recently and saw an M8 around someone's neck. When asked about it, the fellow said, "actually its not mine, I am Annie Lebowitz's assistant." ( She was there but was using her Canons when I saw her. As was I. )
But that is pretty sweet to have your assistant carry your M8 around for you!
