There are a few video reviews out there now of the digital Leica M8 from the Photokina. I’ve seen a few and this one answers a few questions users may have. Michael Reichmann’s Photokina video blog takes a look at the M8 and concludes that the camera itself is what everyone hoped for—an solidly built M camera worthy of the M tradition. The body feels as solid as any other Leica M. He then gives a quick tour of the LCD menu and essential controls, which seem classy and uncluttered, and then lets loos and starts snapping pictures. The shutter doesn’t seem too loud.
If you want to download a few sample DNG files taken with the M8 to check out the quality, just go over to Lightmeditation over here. (Direct links to the pictures here and here.) I don’t think Leica wants anyone to show images taken with the M8 for a few more weeks. Till then, it’ll be slim pickings on images. Shipping date is supposed to be mid to late October.
