Absolutely agree, Mark. Dr Kaufmann' money is bet that he is right as well.
Bringing the M9 with that feature set to market right now, in that time
frame and parallel to the S2 (plus the X1 development so far) represents a
very large achievement that ought to be applauded by anyone with interest in
Leica Camera AG.
