Guys, what is the big deal? I think both of you already have the M9. So what 
is there to upgrade to?

Just take some pictures with the equipment you already have.

Or follow my simple rule: I will not buy any digital camera body for more 
than 2500 Euro. Substitute dollars in your market; even though 1 EUR equals 
$1.25 or so, most photo equipment is cheaper in the much more competitive US 
market.

So I will upgrade my M8 when the M12 or whatever comes along and brings M9 
prices down to my level. In the meantime, I will take thousands of pictures.

Cheers,
Nathan
