10.3 megapixels | 2.5" screen | APS-H sensor

The M8.2, as the name suggests, is a revision to its original M8 model. It retains the same underlying specifications, including its 10MP 1.33x crop sensor but gains a series of minor updates. The shutter material and behaviour is adjusted to make the camera quieter and the rear screen is protected by sapphire glass. The viewfinder is also modified, with the framing lines optimised for focus at 2m, rather than the M8's 0.7m, to assist with accurate framing. In keeping with the camera's aim of being more discreet, black versions of the 8.2 have the company's logo on a black background.

Opinion: This is to offset the idiot who posted a one star review because he's anti-Leica.

Problems: I happen to think this camera deserves 5 stars and is long overdue! The optics from
Leica are bar none the best!

Opinion: The M8 is, without doubt, one of the most intuative and engaging cameras you will ever have the pleasure of using. Quality of construction and, with Leica glass attached, imagery is simply outstanding.
Don't listen to those who like to knock the M8; try one for yourself. If you love photography, the M8 will deliver one of the best experiences you'll ever have.

Problems: Absolutely none.

Opinion: Well built rangefinder camera with excellent output and a bevy of great lenses from Leica, Zeiss, VC, and many others. Imagine a 50mm F 0.95 or for less than a third the price of the Nocti - a 50mm F1.1, or a Leica 21mm F1.4 - who else has that.

Camera has a quiet shutter release (nearly the level of the M6). The output up to 640 ISO (800 ISO in real life) surpasses film at the same ISO. The DNG files at lower speeds are exceptional.

Problems: ZERO problems.
