Sadly my M9 suddenly gave up the ghost today after only 6 months in my hands. The shutter will not fire, simple as that. Yes I have checked the battery, lenses and card. Fortunately it has a one year guarantee and is being picked up tomorrow. Disappointed, Gerry Gerry Walden LRPS www.gwpics.com +44 (0)23 8046 3076 or +44 (0)797 287 7932
