Right!  The detail in the M8s and M9s beats anything I can get with 
Canon.  All Canon files have to be sharpened because of the AA filter 
that softens the image.  I still think it's also because the Leica 
lenses are so much better than the Canon lenses.  When I use Leica R 
wide lenses on the Canon 5D, I don't get the chromatic aberrations and 
fringing that I get with the Canon wide lenses.  With the M9, I get the 
best of everything - Leica bodies and full frame Leica lenses.  I'm very 
happy.
