Advertisement Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 Hi skimmel, Take a look here Pop Photo Review of M8 . I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
blakley Posted December 17, 2006 Share #2 Posted December 17, 2006 I like the review; it's very balanced, and sets out the issues without hysteria, while also giving credit for the camera's fine performance when the various known issues don't arise.

peterb Posted December 17, 2006 Share #3 Posted December 17, 2006 Ah...but 7 paragraphs in they voice the same concern that Sean, myself and others have raised...and I quote.. "There's no question that the Leica M8 is built to take rough handling, but it lacks the weather and dust seals of the similarly priced ($4,400, street) Nikon D2xs, so keep it away from rain or very dusty environments."

skimmel Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share #4 Posted December 17, 2006 Read it over in detail, including looking at their test results chart. I always shoot Raw, so that's what I focused on, but was interested in the discrepancy with ratings for JPEGs. Are the lower ratings for JPEG images simply related to computer processing of the images (i.e., fixable with firmware update)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
