When a camera is quirky and has problems the last thing I'm going to do is
buy a used one.
The M9 is the smallest full frame camrea in the market.
But the M8 is the same size. And on a size to sensor ratio is just a tiny
bit of a clunker.
I'd have the X1 with me come rain or come shine.

And a great name!
I'd buy an X1 anything!
