I don't own a car, but when I did, I wouldn't leave a camera in the glove compartment. I only mentioned it because I've seen others say that's where they left their camera, and given the compact size of the glove box, it sort of emphasizes the portability of smallish cameras like the M bodies. The trunk always seemed a more secure place to me, and on hot, sunny summer days, it wouldn't likely get as hot as the passenger compartment. If the camera was in the passenger compartment, it was on the seat next to me. If I left the car, it went in the trunk (or, more likely, with me). cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
