One thing is obvious ... Jamie. The lack of data massaging prior to the DNG formation inside the M8 is doing us a huge favor ... I don't think any of these Japanese cameras produce a true RAW file anymore, Canon, Nikon, et al seem to understand engineering compromise better than Leica does but in my humble opinion they've all gone too far with on board pre-processing.
I'm going to order a M8 from a local dealer here once you, Guy, Marc et al give your endorsement on the "upgraded" model ... make sure you drop by for a coffee when you come to downtown TO next time.
