[Leica] Trade in m9 (summary)

[Mark Rabiner]

With a film camera a new one might have smoother features but the negs look about the same if not exactly as they did with the cameras back a decade or two or three. Its ok to be nostalgic. With a digital camera it's like you stopped using D76 1:1 and now you're using Buetlers Neofin Blue but its your camera. Your images look way better and you don’t want to go back to your old college darkroom looking image quality days.
For most of my digital shooting years I didn't have a "back up" camera which I'd not really hate to use in an emergency.
Cameras don’t cost hundreds now they cost thousands. Who can afford two of them? Two Canons maybe but two Leica's you'd need to be driving a green Jaguar lighting your ciggies with hundred dollar bills.
The M10 I think leaves the M9 in the dust. Might be hard to go back to it.

    Why waste a good camera just because there is profit for someone else?
    Instead of a used camera you get a new one, Leica will fix the sensor and
    sell/donate the camera to start another photographer down the road.
