Great Camera but for the money...??
It was my dream to have this camera when it first came out. But I've heard many cons about M8 where frame line is off and it is loud. One of the main reason that I use Leica M cameras is that it is quiet. That is why I didn't think of purchasing the M8 but when they introduced M8.2 with quieter shutter and better frameline, I had to try it. Shutter is louder than I thought but it is quieter than M8 so it is better and the frameline is very accurate. I mostly use 28mm lens and I can say that it matches perfect.Image quality is same as M8. Most Digital cameras these days have great quality so I think it does not really matter. What matters to me is great quality + portability so I can carry it easily and this camera does the job.Overall, I love the camera but the price tag of [$]...(body only) I don't know if it is really worth it because some of the digital SLRs produce better pictures and more functionality.

Substantial improvement
I carry this along with me most times. It is the digital equivalent of the old sm Leica's for me. the only problem I have encountered is noisy images in very low light - but that is the electronic equivalent of grain. The shutter is substantially quieter than the M8. However, it is expensive.

A superb instrument
By Boxer 5.
A fantastic camera for all uses less fast paced sports photography. Image quality, chromacity and color rendition the best I have seen. A precsion instrument in every sense of the word.
The Leica M8.2 Compact Digital Camera is a fully updated version of the professional digital rangefinder camera LEICA M8. Important core values of the LEICA M8 like discretion, intuitiveness and robustness have been further enhanced. The LEICA M8.2 complements the LEICA M8; both models will exist parallel in the market. Many elements of the LEICA M8.2 can be integrated into the M8. With this service, Leica Camera underlines once again the system compatibility and the high value retention of the M line.
The LEICA M8.2 is the very first professional digital camera to use an ultra scratch-resistant sapphire crystal as coverglass for the camera monitor. It is so hard that it can only be worked with special diamond tools. The camera also sports a new easy-grip and specially robust "vulcanite" finish. Thanks to numerous detailed modifications, the noise and vibration of the shutter action have been audibly and noticeably reduced even further.
The fastest shutter speed of the metal blade focal-plane shutter is 1/4000 s and the flash sync speed is 1/180 s. To make the camera even more discreet in critical situations, the photographer may personally determine the suitable moment when the shutter is cocked. A lot of the new features of the LEICA M8.2 can also be integrated to the LEICA M8: The scratchproof sapphire glass, the quiter shutter or the bright line frames which are matched for longer distances.
