Paying attention and posting aren't necessarily the same thing. I've
been paying rapt attention, think the M9 seems swell, and hope to get
one after it's had a couple of teething months out -- finances and
used-M8 prices allowing. The M8, with all its quirks, is on balance the
camera which works best for me of all cameras I've used since I started
camera-ing sometime in the late 1960s or early 1970s, and I expect an M9
would even improve on that.

But I have nothing substantial to add, nothing I think would be as
interesting even as some of my not-guaranteed-interesting-to-all Mac
hints or off-topic ramblings about watches, whisky, retrocomputing
or whatever, so I haven't burned bandwidth (here) with M9 drooling,
speculation or those ever so helpful ex post facto hints about different
design decisions Solms should have made.
