Re: The other Bay Area city

Mark: You're finding out what all M8 owners discover when they look at their first M8 files. There's been a lot of cyber-vitriol spewed about the M8's engineering compromises, but they were designed to get the most detail out of the images. You'll still need your DSLRs for your long-lens wildlife stuff, but for people shooting and even landscape work, the M8 really delivers. Enjoy. I'm sure you've got some great M8 images in your future. 

Thanks for the nice peek at Oakland.

Oakland usually gets second billing behind better-known San Francisco.
But residents of this East Bay city like it that way, keeping it
friendly and relatively undiscovered.

The recently-completed Cathedral of Jesus the Light is very eye-catching:

The cathedral provides an elevated view of Lake Merrit:

ASPH (Lake Merrit)

In general, pictures from the M8 require much less processing and
sharpening in Photoshop than images from Canon's EOS 1D mk II or 20D.
The M8's color rendition is superior too. I should have picked one up a
long time ago!
