Geesh, Frank. Shouldn't you be in Monza or something this morning
instead of stirring us all up with a big stick? <grin>

Although I REALLY now want to see side-by-side shots with M8 and M9,
same lens, same tripod over a range of ISOs. That could be
illuminating.

I haven't looked closely enough - have they changed the way the
battery loads or is it still remove the bottom? I don't mind that, but
as I get older I get more clumsy...
