And I doubt that the M9 will be weatherproof anyway. The really  
weatherproof cameras, like the Canon 1D series, also require the use  
of weatherproof lenses, otherwise it is a bit pointless--you have a  
weatherproof body but water can still enter throught the lens or lens  
mount, so you do not have a weatherproof system.
