I can't compare it to the M8 but I'm certainly using it. Firmware version 1.3 isn't perfect (AWB issues) and early R8 bodies had to go back to Leica for updates to make them DMR-compatible. The only real problems I'm having with it are when I'm using a slow SD card and I get too impatient with the review/playback buttons & such, and firmware 1.3 has re-formatted my SD cards so that my Hyperdrive HD-80 no longer reads them. I still wish the R8 had an SL viewfinder and the sucker's big & heavy, but image quality is great when I do my part.
