It's basically a real camera. Like film - there's no help, no extra color saturation, no cheating filter that makes up for bad lighting. You will learn photography and understand light by the way they did in the old days. It's a process and you will be disappointed but the reward is priceless when you'll understand how the Leica M8 works.

It's a Leica, it's heavy, it's tactile, it's beautiful and it can take amazing shots.... But there are issues. Battery life is weak and genuine batteries are dear. The screen is poor and the buffer is slow. You need an ir cut filter or else colours can be iffy. But... It can be amazing... But realistically save up for an m9. If you cannot afford then start saving.....

In the M8, Leica created what many thought was impossible: they designed a modern digital camera in the shape of the 1950s iconic M series body but amazingly can use all (with a very few exceptions) Leica M-mount (and non-Leica M-mount) lenses manufactured since the 1950s. This is a remarkable achievement. The moment you hold it you know it is a Leica. The shape, the weight, the sheer solidity of it and the beautiful craftsmanship. It is not the camera for everyone: there is no autofocus; there is no auto-aperture. But if image quality, and control over your photography, are you bag then this is the camera for you. The M8 has been superseded by subsequent models, which are faster and better (and much more expensive), but the M8 still produces remarkable images and being a Leica, will do so for years.Read full review

Excellent image quality, superb black and white rendition, sensor has issues rendering black clothing and some vegetation hence need for uv/ir cut filters, otherwise somewhat undefineably good image quality.
