And that EVF is just too cool with its brightness in dark settings, displays, quick review, etc. Personally, I cannot see a reason to own an M9 (or even an M8) when these 4/3rds do so much, so well and for so little cost. But that's just me. Others have alternative perspectives and I will not be critical of those who do.
