i'm getting a Leica D-LUX 3 this November (if another doesn't catch my attention until then)
it's one of the best point and shoots out right now.
totally worth the money. the photos look beautiful and it shoots in 3:2, 4:3 and even 16:9
the images are a little noisy over ISO 200, but a great camera nonetheless.
i had a old Sony Cybershot since 2003 and it was so great for a cheap 200 dollar camera.
i took many great photos with it and loved it but it got screwed. and then i got the Rebel XT last year or two years ago and half liked it, half didn't like it.
i eventually got a refund and bought a Telecaster Deluxe instead.
the M8 is out of the question. i don't have that kind of money. but boy would that be a beauty to own.
but yeah.. i'm thinking of getting that Leica. the shots it takes look just as a good as any 10mp dslr.
