Photographers have been using Leica's M series rangefinder cameras for more than half a century and the new M8 represents a genuine combination of traditional and modern digital technologies. Apart from the LCD and array of buttons on the rear panel and t
Review Verdict: Shots taken with the supplied camera were as sharp and detailed as you would expect from a camera-plus-lens combination costing more than $10,000. Without being able to carry out Imatest testing, however, we cannot say just how sharp our test shots were.

Since over 6 1/2 years we only use RAW for all our cameras if feasible. The Leica M8 uses the Adobe DNG standard to store the RAW files. This opens these RAW files for many RAW converters without too much tweaking.
