Michael Kamber Has posted an in depth review of the Leica M8. A worthy read for all.
You know.. I am quiet disappointed.
An award winning Photo journo has given a very negative review on the Leica M8, a camera which everyone thought would be as good, (if no better) than the Leicas of yesteryear. Yet, not a single M8 owner in this forum has anything to say to counter his opinion.
Is a sad day indeed.
RIP Leica, who has served us well for over half a century.

BTW you won´t find trolls here.
This morning I just unpacked my R8 which had come back from service. While my DMR does not have all the problems that this reviewer had with his M8, it did take months for it to return from service. My canon gear makes the round trip to service and back to my door in less than a week. If there's anything wrong with Leica its their outdated service dept. Seriously I sent it in to service and did not hear anything for weeks after which I got a mailed letter stating how much the repair estimate would be and asked me to mail back a response whether I would like the repair or not. Are you kidding? This is 2008...
Well to their defense - the leica cameras both M8 and DMR are capable of producing superlative files quite noticeably better than that of my canons. I'm glad I don't have to take them out to the battlefield though.
