Since the release of the Leica M10 I've been thinking about upgrading my M9p. Overall I'm still happy with my M9 (ccd) and I'm in love with the images it produces in daylight. Though sometimes I miss the high iso capacity and that gives me some kind of excuse to convince myself into buying something else. There must be plenty M9 owners on this forum having similar thoughts about upgrading. Now my current options are:
#1 Buy the M10 and sell the M9, some say the M10 sensor has a charm. Economically not very attractive since the estimated resell value will drop a lot the first years. I will still miss my M9 a lot and just can't justify keeping both!
#2 Buy the M240 and keep the M9. Nice to play with a more modern Leica and have the ability to use a higher is. The downside is that big compared to the others, I don't like carrying 2 cameras all the time and the files from both cameras are to difficult two combine in one serie (ccd/cmos).
#3 Keep the M9 and just be happy. Stop looking at everything which is new, it's becoming a addiction. I have to many film Leica's plus lenses and maybe it's time to stop buying things I don't need.. All this money could also be spent on trips where I can actually use everything. It's just that feeling of searching and buying something new which is so nice..
#4 Keep the M9 and buy a extra M9 body. It's good to have a spare body and I can start the hunt for a nice body. The M9 is the best.
