I bought my M8 rather early on and have used it like my other photographic tools, and it has performed as expected. The camera has not been upgraded beyond the firmware updates Leica has released. I have had many images taken the M8 published in AutoWeek magazine and on our website, not to mention thousands of family photos. When it comes to travel where I don't need to use a long telephoto lens, the M8 remains my go-to camera. The camera and four lens take up a fraction of the space my Nikon DSLRs take, and the weight-savings is much appreciated while on the road. If the M8 could accrue frequent flier miles, my guess is that it has racked up nearly 300,000 miles. My only real quibble with the M8 is its inability to return great results at high ISO settings. For that type of work, my D3s is far, far superior.
