What Jamie wrote
I have wondered many times about these Leica digital cameras. They cost a lot, and at least from this review it seems my Canon DSLR is a better place for me to stay.
The M9 is obtuse in other ways, too. It has almost no controls and zero convenience features. Many of its buyers probably demand that simplicity, so I cant fault Leica for that. But the M9 also has slow shutter response, a slow image processor, slow shot-to-shot time, poor battery life, and a small, low-resolution screen, even by 2009s standards. The 5D Mark II is luxurious, fast, and extremely responsive by comparison.
