Re: Leica R9 - What is the camera REALLY like?
I've only ever used the R8, but the body shell is more or less identical to the R9.
Handling is excellent. It's a very good ergonomic design. It looks bulky, but in use everything is to hand and it handles very well. The viewfinder is clear and bright. Subjects seem to pop into focus.
Shutter isn't that loud for an SLR IMHO, though I've nothing to compare it to directly.
The R8s are a steal at the moment - mind you, so are most film cameras - the R9 less so.
