      Holy mackerel! I read the early preview of this camera on DPReview a while back and though expensive, I was completely intrigued by the concept and absolutely love the boldness of it. This is some of the most beautiful "digital" monochrome I've ever seen. I'm stunned. There have time where I've switched my DSLR over to monochrome mode exclusively and every time I've done so it has improved my photography. There's something about removing color that helps remove distractions from lines, composition, texture and contrast. You should post some of those blog photos to your Flickr stream! It would draw tons of activity to your photostream.

      Hi Gabriel, The files from this camera need to be seen to be believed, they are remarkable, I'm still only scratching the surface with it.

      I'm mainly a B&W shooter really although I still have my M9, I found it improved my photography no end.

      Without the colour you see the true image IMO....:-)

      Cheers, Jason.
