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.

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 :(
