M8-up with the best

[JohnL]

I just held M8 in leica store, well it looks lovely 🙂 I can actualy buy it if I want to (but ofcourse I dont) 🙂 but I bought leica flash 🙂

The store has an M8 (a) *for sale* or (b) just for fondling? If (a), where? Just curious 😉

Oooh,, could it be? the M8 images from the brouchure looks to be from Simon Wheatly's photo essay on London's Inner City Youths.. Dare I think any images from his Magnum Essay was shot with the M8? I wouldn't think Leica would dare to impose the NDA on Simon by forcing him to bring multiple cameras on his photoshoots and not use any of the pics from the M8 for his essay.

No, they have it for sale, I have asked two times "is it the final M8 for sale right? not the beta one just for testing" they said it is for sale 🙂 I opened packaged fresh M8 with my heands, Where? in dubai, will tell you more information with some telephone numbers if you send me your Lux lens 😀 😀

Check this out, What a disaster, How can someone shoot picture for heart with this plastic, lifeless look?

You know what? You are 100% right.
Extenuating circumstances:
a. This is DPreview
b. The guy hasn't got the foggiest idea what he is talking about, and has probably never seen a Leica or even a RF before in his life....

Ah yes Dubai.. Last time I looked they offered me a hotel room at $ 3400 a night.. A piddling 5000 $ for a camera is just like buying a Coke over there....

The DR in those images is sensational!! Not....

Next! <shoves the M8 to the side>

On a serious note: I'm sure the M8 can perform better than these samples if post processed correctly(which could suggest an unusable JPEG mode on the M8) Where are those haters now, the ones who laughed when I called out Leica's poor marketing for not releasing any *good looking* official images?

You're right... the unwashed idiots are moving in 🙁
