Is this a true problem of the M8? There's no streaking in this pic, but the bright light sources are hella ugly and has a slight posterization effect to it..

Is that an M8

I don't understand, is that an M8 pic? Which lens and ISO?

That looks a lot like the sensor blooming CMos sensors exhibit.

those are some pretty ugly effects around the lights, my 20D doesn't do that, the blue artifacts around the light sources is now that I look at it more, REALLY ugly...hm....no long exposures with m8, check

The short answer is NO. The M8 has issues, but also produces some of the nicest files in a 35mm format size digital camera.
Someone played with that one.
Ray (Yes, I have one and have shot a lot of night scenes with it.)

I didn't take the M8 pic and I surely didn't modify it. See the link to original below.

It was taken at 320 iso @ 1/250... quite a strange effect.
I would expect at least a smooth rendering of bright light sources.. something like the Ricoh pic here:

ywenz,
I didn't say that you did. I stated that the M8 does not render like that naturally.
I still say that someone played with that one. Probably by poor processing of the RAW.

I just looked at the link again and it says jpeg tests from the M8.
My comments are all relative to RAW, as I have the jpeg function turned off and have never shot a jpeg straight from the camera.

So the question is, can one shoot jpeg with the M8, right?

The real question is I haven't seen this type of effect reported. It is such a major image artifact that I want to know if it is really prevalent when shooting into bright lights in JPEG or RAW mode..
and jaap, this is not an artifact from cmos sensors.

I asked the guy a few questions in the flickr comments. I asked him about which lens / filter, if he's seen this before and if he also tried DNG for the same pic. I'll post what he says.

The blue rings are symmetrical in the centre and asymmetrical towards the edges.It suggests something like a lens aberration, a filter flare, more info needed..

For what it's worth. Here is a shot into bright lights of various properties, i.e. sodium, tungsten etc.

I found another pic that shows this posterization effect. An otherwise great shot is ruined by the color banding around the sun...

Unfortunately, that is what digital images do, especially if photoshopped in 8 bits:
Canon 10D Shot RAW, converted to 8-bit, only sharpened and resized. A Cmos sensor does this all the time...
Fortunately, the M8, if converted properly, has no such unpleasant tendencies:
Converted to TIFF 16 bits, resized and exported to JPG, nothing else..
Your shot :If it indeed was taken with a M8: user error,either in conversion or in post-processing.

jaapv: good to know because that user had a series of sunset photos with the M8 and they all exhibited the harsh banding in the sky, exposure was right on otherwise..
