We haven't heard from the thousand of owners who've moved from the M8 to the
M9  I think they are less blissful about they're M8 experience and am glad
they're at 9 and would rather than think about the past so much.
We just stated SURE as a second camera or back up camera to the M9.
Its just not going to ever be the camera you reach for first as you walk out
the door unless you're walking into a hurricane.
The M9 is not by far the camera of choice.
Again the main issue being the present tense being the active one.
Which is at least for me being able to shoot with an M9 or M9s as soon as
possible. The M9s being the future tense. Not as active. But hopeful.
Leica is in business in the present. And I'm a present customer.

The M9s is to me not future tense but history that just haven't gotten
around to happening yet.
A 12 mp full frame rangefinder M with ISO's in the ranges we've come to
expect in modern DSLR street shooting. Shooting which wound be better served
with a rangefinder. A better street camera as I go.
