Addressing the concerns of many professional photographers who want to love the M8, Leica has introduced a second iteration of their digital rangefinder—the M8.2. The most notable of the many enhancements is the dramatic reduction in shutter and winder noise. Not only is the camera operationally quieter, the reworked shutter gives the camera a much smoother feel—harking back to the M4 experience.
The M8.2 also targets the new less experienced Leica user with the addition of a snapshot mode, where the camera controls all the key settings needed to create the perfect exposure.
The Leica M rangefinder has always been a pleasure to use and a brilliant tool for discreet reportage. Version two of the M8 certainly sets this camera back on the path forged in 1925, a path that changed modern photography.
For more information on the M8.2 check out the Leica website; it also has details on how you can have your current M8 upgraded to the functionality of the M8.2.

My LEICA M8 Jpeg Files are getting corrupted.
When I download DNG- Psd, it works flowelesly.
When I use DNG- Jpeg together: Jpeg gets corrupted again.
Actually: It appears that freaky pixelated squared spot appears in the lower centered part of the image.
HHmmm, I wander is it the the Hardware problem or the SD Card, the Card Reader, the USB Cord, The MAC(Tiger or Leopard Version)?
Cheers, Tomislav Stanich.
