M8's lowest ISO is 160.  At 160 it is superior to any 35mm film and 
comes close to medium format film.

One of the great things about digital is that you have any "film" you 
want in the camera at all times.  The Raw file captures exactly what 
you see and then you apply a Velvia or Provia or Astia or Kodachrome 
or Tri-X or TMax filter to the photo when you "develop" it.  And, 
yes, it is better than any of those films because there is no grain, 
unless you want to add it.
