Can one use the LCD panel on the M8 while composing and focusing like  a  
P&S? 
If so it would for the most part negate those objections  some  have about 
using a rangefinder, i.e. parallax error and limited  use of long  lenses. 
If 
not, 
Leica missed the boat on that  one.

Mmm, there are some boats I choose not to ride!  There are many,  many 
choices if one wants LCD focusing, including some Leica / Panasonics.
 
Believe it or not, there are some of us who prefer rangefinder  focusing.  
The M8 thankfully does not try to be every camera for every  man.
