Actually given the grass conditions and time of year and if these images 
weren't side by each I find both of them more than acceptable colour 
photographs.

I'm aware of the "red sensitivity" of the M8 and in some conditions we've 
seen a marked off colour problem. However, I see both of these as acceptable 
without question particularly when Mother Nature can turn these grass and 
wet lands slightly different hues and colours over night given correct 
weather conditions.

Put the DMR photo in one room and M8 image in another and I find it hard to 
believe anyone would have a problem with either. Sometimes it's quite unfair 
to the equipment and manufacturer to illustrate a situation in this fashion, 
actually when the M8 version is quite fall like in colours. As is the DMR!

It's an excellent example of a slight difference, but certainly not a major 
WOW factor in this kind of scene. A brides white dress and it would be a 
major disaster,no question! But in others as we see here it's no big deal. 
Actually no different than adding a slight warming filter for enhancement.

However, I'd much rather not have any thoughts about IR or whatever colour 
might be recorded without my wishing to create myself.

These are interesting, however in an enhancing sort of fashion.
