Can't say anything about resolution as I would need to see 100% crops for that, and not resized pictures. http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/69745616 the water below the boat has extremely rough color noise - very disappointing http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/69754898 color noise in the white shirt is less extreme but still quite disturbing. Comparing high ISO noise of a M8 and a Canon EOS is not comparing apples and oranges, I'd say. Noise is noise. And Leica's have always been available light cameras so the high ISO behaviour of the M8 is an important point to compare with others. I believe the M8 has passed the competitors with the solution for the wide angle/vignetting issue (micro lenses on the sensor), but is clearly behind in terms of high iso behaviour.
