The posted images of course have had some sharpening applied to them, but when I look at the DNG files from the M8 in LR, before I do anything to them, they already have more detail than the E3 files that have already been treated. Let me put it this way: any softness in an M8 image is due to operator error (and yes, of course I had a few of those today); while softness in my E3 or (earlier) Canon images was just as often due to the inherent characteristics of the AF.
