No picture, since I sold my M8 to fund my M9, but I wanted to chip in that the pictures from the M8 can still hold their own against much more modern cameras.

 

With Lightroom 4, my old M8 files really clean up very well, even at 1250. Provided you shot DNG of course! The jpgs really sucks.

 

I have re-processed my old files from M8, and compared to similar shots from my 5D3 the M8 files still look better in print, despite being less than half the megapixels.

(28mm/2 on leica and 35mm/1.4 on canon.

Of course, there are limits to how large you can make a 10mp file, but it resses up beautifully to at least double that. I just add some slight monochrome grain before I print, It camoflages the jaggies and brings out the sharpness.

 

Go M8!

Love that B&W version, Andy.

 

Nearly six years later, the M8 is still my all time favorite digital camera, and in that time I've owned several Nikon and Canon full frame dSLRs, and some Panasonic and Fuji P&S cameras. I like the M8 both for it's handling and the fact that the images are the most film-like I've seen from any digital camera.

For some reason, I prefer the look of my M8 B & W to my M9 B & W shots.

That`s the point. I love shooting with the M8 at 320 or 640 ASA with the aperture wide open (I use a grey filter when it`s to bright) and i simply love the look. The camera has a character.
