Digitaljournalist.org published what I think is the longest Leica M9 review I’ve seen so far. It includes size comparison with full frame DLSRs, SD cards test results, sample shots at different ISO (compared to Leica M8.2, Nikon D700 and Canon 5D), IR sensitivity comparison and more. The M9’s processor is listed as the only major flaw.
The conclusions (according ot the author David Keenan):
“Well, friends, the M9 is da bomb. Other than a fix for the “major flaw” described above, it is difficult to envision why an M10 is even going to be necessary.”
Westlicht has two Leica M9 prototypes (black and steel gray) up for auction. The cameras are labeled as M8. Starting price is EUR 7,000, expected selling price is EUR 14,000 – 18,000. They also have few Leica MP prototypes.
“This book, written by Alexander S. White, is a guide to one of the more popular and sophisticated digital cameras now on the market. The book is a trade-sized paperback, 227 pages long, with more than 100 color photographs or illustrations. The book includes clearly written explanations of all of the camera’s features, controls, and menus. It also covers topics such as the use of flash (both built-in and external), infrared photography, macro photography, and accessories. All distances and weights in the book are stated in the English system (feet, inches, ounces) as well as the metric system. The book also may be of interest to owners of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 camera, because the D-Lux 4 is very similar to the LX3, and the operations of the two cameras are almost identical.”
