I've done this test with cameras locked down on tripods.

I have no doubt that your M8 will technically out perform even drum  
scanned 35 mm film at:
160 asa
320 asa
640 asa

I've not done higher speed film comparisons.

The only way you'll technically out perform the best decent sized  
digital sensors
is with drum scanned very large format transparencies shot with  
extremely fine lenses.

The aesthetic qualities of film continue to carry their own weight  
very well.
