The camera can take pictures at 10 megapixels highest resolution. But if you want to get better image quality the more important thing is a sensor size. The M8 has a APS-H (27 x 18 mm) sensor that will allow the photographer to produce great pictures and at the same time the M8 is not very big. But if you want to shoot pictures of the best quality check Canon EOS-1D X Mark II.
The camera has max shutter speed of 1/8000 sec. This shutter speed is above average for digital cameras and is fast enough for shooting fast moving subjects. The Leica M8 is an interchangeable and uses Leica M lens mount. If the scene demands special shooting conditions, you can switch lens to a more appropriate to make better images.
