My M8 did not suddenly get worse when the M9 came out, and the M9 will not get worse when the M10 comes out, just cheaper :-) Speaking of Fuji, I handled Michiel's X100 this weekend and saw output from it--very impressive indeed. It is not a Leica M, since the lens is fixed, but it is very much a digital Konica Hexar: small size, silent, high-quality 2/35mm lens (equivalent). Michiel told me that highly usable images are obtained at ISO 3200, which means that it surpasses the current M cameras in what is a very important performance parameters for some of us.
