Well the specs are wrong on the M9 as is now they MP's are jacked up too high hurting the high iso output as the M9 is mainly not a commercial photographer camera but a street camera the need to emulate what the street shooters are now doing with their DSLR's favoring cameras with bigger pixel sites and not jacked up MP specs and be able to shoot at night with the higher ISO's. Otherwise they'd just going to keep shooting with their Canons and Nikons and never return to Leica if they'd ever been there before. We don't need a M Leica X. We need a Leica S. And the S's cost less then the X's. [Rabs] Mark William Rabiner
