And people looked at me funny when I said used M9 would drop to $6000 by the
end of the year :-)

Honestly, I think carrying the M is no more difficult than a small 4/3 cam.
HOWEVER, that M9 is just ergonomically speaking, lesser than the M7 and
prior. It just pokes at me - much less now without the Thumbsup but it is
still a pain in the side.

And it's not like I am super skinny. Judging from what other people wrote,
it appears that a small number of us are just too skinny in the wrong places
:-)
