LeicaPassion, an Italian, on-line Magazine has published an excellent
review of Leica M8 by Roberto Ottavi.  An English translation
of this review has been graciously provided by LRflex member,
 John Scocca.   Mr. Ottavi has recomposed his review with
John's text (though, sadly, has neglected to give John credit for the translation),
and has several new photos in the process!

John Scocca's English translation can be found HERE. (3 MB PDF File.)

Many thanks to Roberto Ottavi for granting permission to use his photographs with this translation
and for resetting the entire thing for Engilsh.

For those interested, or, better yet, speak Italian, the entire
 magazine can be downloaded HERE
  (12MB PDF file)

In addition, on the author's web-page, there  are also 7 shots taken
 with the M8 in their native DNG (raw) format.
These can be found HERE. (10.5MB each)

To view the DNG files, you will need a RAW converter capable of handling compressed DNG files. 
If you do not have one, download Andrew Lu's, free & excellent, FastStone Image Viewer here.

As well, my own review of the M8, which was published in the
 LHSA's Viewfinder,
"First Impressions: M8 vs DMR"
can be found HERE. (1.3MB PDF File.)  

As well, I posted a few shots & details from my use of the pre-production M8 which I had in
early September, '06.  These  can be found HERE.

 You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the PDF files.  If you do not have it, you can obtain it free, here.
