>>Havent't handled the M8 so far, but I guess QC is way better. Crop  
>>factor is a bit less biting though I'm getting used to it.  
>>Baselength is significantly better, but lowest ISO is deceiving  
>>with 160 only. Damn, Leica is famous for it's fast lenses and then  
>>they offer a new camera which forces you to run into candlelighted  
>>basement rooms if you want to shoot your expensive f1.4 glasses  
>>wide open! Or it forces you to use NF filters which is silly.
