[Leica] How to get an M8 for $3200...

[imagist3 at mac.com (Lottermoser George)]

While I do not doubt your expertise in these matters;
In my practical experience, using numerous cmos and ccd based cameras,
I've consistently found the ccd based cameras superior in the  
qualities I look for in an image:
        dynamic range
        color fidelity
        fine detail
YMMV

Fond regards,
George
