Leica User Forum - View Single Post - Erwin Puts' M8 Review

I've always found Erwin a bit of a wind-bag and am pleased the results have been removed. Sean has simply said that the results do not disappoint so if he's not disappointed, it's unlikely I'm going to be.

BTW, I went searching for a Moire menu selection on the M8 such as there is in the DMR but could not find one. Sounds like their detection and correction of Moire is now sufficiently smart to not need the user to intervene.

As regards place of manufacture, I expect Portugal no longer provides the cost advantages it once did since they joined the EU. Erwin clearly stated the camera is made in Portugal, and I don't believe it.
