I am well familiar with the usefulness of IBIS and a silent shutter. I find I can almost equal the Sony with my M9 using Summilux lenses in terms of sharpness. Shutter noise is higher but in normal environments no one hears it but me. I used the M10R monochrome in the Seattle area this fall and the shutter release is especially wonderful: if the M11 is as good then I am much poorer as I will be hunting down the APO lenses to go with my new M. For some reason my best people/street images are taken with M's. Go figure.
