I am new to the world of Lecia, having purchased a new D-Lux4 a few weeks ago and must say that I am just so delighted with this little camera. I am also new to this forum and have appreciated reading the various discussions, recommendations and opinions. Reading Steve Huff's reviews has been so helpful as well. His enthusiasm along with the rest of the members is contagious. So I intend to buy an M8, preferably a pre-owned one or demo. So I have a few questions that I hope some of you my opine on.
Other than the serial number and number of actuations, are there any other questions anyone might recommend I ask an authorized dealer (or a private seller for that matter) about an M8 that is either a demo or just pre-owned? If the dealer just got the camera back from Leica, and represents that it has been checked out, is there a question or questions that you would ask about what Leica did with the camera? If the seller represents that the camera comes with a 1 year warranty, are there questions to ask about the warranty?
Any insight and direction would be appreciated.
