I absolutely look forward to an M9.  Not that M8 isn't a great camera, which
it is, but I look forward to its advancement.  Full-frame or 1.33x?  I don't
care.  More pixels and better sensitivity would be welcome.  It's a
near-ideal camera, for me, for the type of photography I do.

Now, S2 makes me drool, but there are other things I'd want more for that
kind of money (like a concert grand piano...)
