No one on the Lug who owns both versions of the camera seems to thing like this guy does that the M8.2 is a whole new camera worthy of a large amount of paragraphs. Its not a whole new camera. It does not redefine Leica M digital. If I had an m8 I'd not bother to upgrade. Its an upgrade. That's what it is. Not a whole new deal. A very self involved snide quirky article not up to the level of the DIGITAL JOURNALIST website which has Bill Pierce on it. My long time favorite columnist From Pop and modern photography in the 70's.
