  What Richard says.

No question, Kyle's bar scene is darned impressive.

But the M9 works very well for me, its sensor makes great images at 
least up to 1250, which is what i set as my iso limit.

If you use the fast glass, f1.4 or f1.0, 1250 asa is like a  f2.8 zoom 
lens on a dslr set to 5,000 or 10,000 asa.
