M8 - Moire and Chromatic Aberrations?

LFI article

LFI article

I haven't seen the LFI article, but the M8 User Manual that's online indicates that the blue dot is just an ambient light sensor to control the brightness of the LEDs.

If the blue dot were functioning as stated in the LFI article, why wasn't an apeture value recorded in the Digital Outback dng? Perhaps the LFI article is wishful thinking for future upgrades.

Perhaps Sean can clarify this.

In any case, the M8 is a wonderful camera and the lack of f-stop data in the EXIF file is of little consequence as far as I'm concerned.

Cheers,

Stan
 
Maybe the aperture recording function (and even the jpeg lens optimization) is not working with the firmware loaded on the sample cameras. This could be why Leica is so adamant about posting images from the cameras as the cameras that actually ship may have the latest firmware enabling all functions as per the LFI article.

Well, Michael Reichmann's is up at LL. that puts an end to that: I have seldomly ifever read such a positive camera review. He himself calls it "gushing"and does not even apologize for it :);)
 
There was no moire or colour fringing on any of the numerous images I have seen from a production M8. In fact, I have never seen a digital camera reproduce complex fibre-patterns in clothing with more realism. Incidentally, there was also no discernable noise in 11x14 prints at ISO 640. :)
