Today’s guest post is from Adam Marelli (www.adammarelliphoto.com):
The release of the M8 did not convince me to go digital. While it was a big step forward, and some camera dealers swore a full frame M was not an option, I decided to hold out. The M9, and its custom Kodak CCD sensor, promised to deliver the same, if not better image quality than my film camera. There were a few things I was hoping would happen with the M9 and a few unexpected surprises.
While I am traveling, the less gear I have to carry, the better. The release of the M9, meant my bag was about to get a whole lot lighter. After using it for a few months and memorizing the new digital layout, I was ready to leave my M6 at home and give the M9 a real test in southern India. Carrying one camera and three lenses, I wondered if the M9 could out perform the M6.
