I bought a "Code-U" M8.2 from my local dealer at a very good price (less then $4500) about four months ago. (Code-U are used or demo cameras from Leica that have a one year warranty.) I have a few minor gripes but this is the camera I was hoping for two and half years ago. I have carried it with me everyday since. Not sure if I'll ever use my M7s seriously again. Frankly at $6000 I wouldn't have bought one. But at the price I paid, I have 0 complaints.
