Morning Flexers,
I am writing from cottage country in Ontario and am plenty grumpy. Last night, taking panorama pictures off the boat deck of a neighbour's cottage, my M8 stopped working. I got a message on the back which read "shutter error" and an "ERR" message in the view finder. It is now morning and the battery has been out of the camera over night and when I install it and turn on the camera I get the same messages. So, it has to go to Solms, I certainly won't have it for the rest of my Canadian trip and for God knows how long after I get back to Hong Kong. I feel a darkness coming over me - a foreboding of an experience like David had with his digital back - and I am not a happy camper this morning in Muskoka!!
Howard (where it is also cold this morning)

For a complete emulation of David's DMR experience, you have to dunk the camera over the side of the boat deck - remember Solms drowned his when it went in for a minor repair.

Come to think of it, it you have a Passport warranty, dunking it may not be such a bad idea. At least it ensures you get a new one... :-)

My sympathies anyway, and may your forebodings not come to pass.

Best

Alex
