When a camera is quirky and has problems the last thing I'm going to do is buy a used one. The M9 is the smallest full frame camrea in the market. But the M8 is the same size. And on a size to sensor ratio is just a tiny bit of a clunker. I'd have the X1 with me come rain or come shine. And a great name! I'd buy an X1 anything! Mark William Rabiner
