Well, when I was shooting Canon I was happy to be one generation  
behind those who always must have the latest and greatest. I see no  
reason to act differently now that I am back with Leica. In addition,  
the 1600 ISO test pics posted on dpreview are decidedly underwhelming.  
I really wish Leica had resisted the temptation and limited the M9 to  
12 or at most 14 megapixels.
