The Leica M8.2 shares the same body & characteristics of the current successful M8, but also includes some alternative, attractive features built in. Such features include :
- A new extra-quiet, low vibration metal blade focal plane shutter with the option to recock the stutter at a later moment – useful to reduce noise even further
- An ultra scratch-resistant sapphire crystal cover glass for the camera monitor – the Leica M8.2 is the first professional camera to use such material
- A new snapshot mode – useful in tight reportage conditions
- A "Vulcanite" finish to the camera body (black & silver versions)
- Viewfinder bright-lines (to frame subject) optimised for 2 metres (the current M8 is 0.7 metres)
- A more compact, faster charger
- Operational changes following user feedback
- The black version of the Leica M8.2 has been finished more discreetly as the Leica dot & accessory shoe are now also in black
