Jon, In checking these images, it's obvious both you and the m645 are capable of great images. With the exception of (going left to right and top to bottom) #5 and #7, the facial highlights are somewhat hot and devoid of detail...but that may have been you intention.(?) All but #8 of the outdoor shots suffer from limited DoF.
