I'm just waiting for my m9. Just a couple of days.:)

I would like to know why the self timer has just 2 and 12 seconds options.

Should be not too difficult to put more options with a new firmware. I would love to have the options of setting the time I want. This is not really very important for me but why not more options.

The normal reasoning is that you use the long setting for normal self-timer release and the two second setting for exposures when the camera is tripod mounted, the theory being that any vibration induced by pressing the shutter has subsided within that time. A Nikon D3x has 2, 5, 10, 20 seconds.
