But the M8 is a very expensive digital camera. So unless you have some extra
cash it may not be justified.
Much cheaper to buy a Digital Rebel, or for those with Nikon glass a D40x,
and use that. $700 is a lot less that $5,000.
Especially when you know the digital body will be obsolete in only a few
years, much different than when we had film bodies that would not be
obsoleted so quickly.
