I tested the 8.2 for the magazine alongside my 8; no differences from an imaging point of view. Significant other differences: -sapphire screen - buy a $5 screen protector. No biggie. -S idiot mode - uggggh. Definitely not. -Improved framing - yes, but it actually doesn't make that much of a difference as you might think -black dot, different covering - no big deal. I tape up my M8 anyway. -the biggest difference...the new shutter is *REALLY* quiet. More like the silent 'tic' of a Nikon with the mirror up. I'd consider upgrading my shutter, but not for the stealth (M8 is quiet enough) but more because the vibration is quite a lot lower. That could be worth a stop of handholdability. -new fast charger. I've got one on order. The current one is simply quite unacceptable...5 hours to charge a battery?!
