Nothing outperforms, concerning noise, the EOS 5D, not even the 1Ds mkII 
that may be better in other image quality aspects but not in noise. The 
/raison d'?tre/ of the Leica M8 is not getting the *best* digital image 
quality available but getting pictures from a rangefinder with the 
legendary Leica M lenses. In few words it is not the best digital camera 
in the world but an outsanding Leica M digital camera. I'm anxiously 
awaiting mine.

Regards.

F?lix.
