Leica M8 Reviews:

Photojournalist Ashley Gilbertson puts Leica M8 to test in one of the most demanding of all environments, the Iraq battlefield. and gave out “Leica has created a perfect transition digital from its M series film cameras. They’re just as small, almost as durable, and as easy to use as their film predecessors, and they yield an incredible file in both size and sharpness. As someone who has hated the transition from my old Leica kit to digital, the M8 is my ideal camera to marry the elegance and robustness of the M series with cutting edge digital technology.”

PhotographyReview reviewed the Leica M8 and gave out”The Leica M8 will appeal to those who value high quality images, portability, ruggedness, the Leica marque, and the camera’s ability to provide a digital platform for Leica’s M lens system. The M8 will please travel, wedding, and candid photographers, as well as photojournalists who can take advantage of its unobtrusive nature and fast handling. However, the M8 will not work well for sports and wildlife photographers who need real telephoto lenses to get them close to the action, or photographers who love to make macro shots of insects and flowers.
