I don't tend to think of the Leica M8 as a camera for serious photographers. It's really just a camera solely intended for Leica collectors.
Thing about the G7/G9/G10 is that it's not your good camera. For "good" shots, you pull out your Mamiya. Or your 35mm camera. But when you are going to be shooting a little more aimlessly with a little less of a demand on quality, then the G-series comes into play.
