I took my new M8.2 with only Summicron 50/2 to Banff for one week ( I ordered two other lenses, still on the way), this is my first time use RF, and I have NO problem with it, at all. Actually it's kind of remind my experience with FM2 in college, 13 years ago. I love to shoot in the way my M8.2 offered, I never had same feeling on my old D70.
The picture quality is great, I use DNG only, and there's not much job need to be done in LR actually, the auto balance isn't bad at all. And surprisingly I don't have any issue with shift focus and other well known problems. Please check my PICs and give some suggestion to improve, I'm a newbie in RF, I know there're lots of things I need to learn.

Almost forgot, I love my M8.2!

Thanks for your comment, Double Negative, those two are my favor too! Too bad I don't have the wide angle for landscape.

My impression:
The good:
Image quality is super, way better than my old D70.
The shutter is GREAT, very very quiet. I can easily hand held to 1/4 S.
M focus is nice, remind my old FM2. Focus is very precisely, no shift focus at all.
It is very small, easy to carry around, and didn't catch attention, it's a good thing to me.
There's a guy in my touring party, brought a huge Canon lens and a huge tripod, I saw him took it out only once in the first day. It actually makes me laugh, I was in the same position 10 years ago, two bodies and tow lens in the lowpro backpack. I feel great to use a RF every time I saw his huge backpack and the big iron on his neck. I felt his pain absolutely.
The bad:
Battery sucks. I have to charge daily, since it only last for like 200-250 shots max, and my wife usually will check photos on the bus from time to time.
I bought Mr. Zhou case and strap, it fits quite tight on the M8, the case has some cutting problem I guess. So it's not easy to take it out change battery or SDHC card. It's a traditional design I know, but hard to use with a case on.
Do I like the M8.2? Are you kidding? I absolutely LOVE it! I don't care about M9, this baby is good enough for me! I don't feel enjoying to shoot in a long time!

Your batteries need to be run down and recharged 3 time before they hold a longer charge. A pain I know, on my second charge on my backup battery.
Almost there
