LongL Posted July 12, 2012 Share #1 Â Posted July 12, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) I sold all my canon gears and switching to Leica M. And now I find a bargain with New M8.2 and a used M9 with 5000 shutter actuations, they are almost the same price. What do you think and which one you would pick ? Â I know the sensor is different fullframe M9 would have the edge and also the high iso performance. But with the 5000 shutter actuations would it be a matter ?

Advertisement Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Hi LongL, Take a look here New M8.2 or a used M9. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
bpalme Posted July 12, 2012 Share #2 Â Posted July 12, 2012 Well if price is the same go for the M9 no question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldhrads Posted July 12, 2012 Share #4 Â Posted July 12, 2012 M9 no question, the M8 is a great camera, but the M9 will serve you longer even used. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted July 12, 2012 Share #5 Â Posted July 12, 2012 I have recently sold my M8.2 to purchase an M9. And, while I loved the M8.2, the M9 is a far more complete and competent tool. Â I'd either buy a cheap used M8.2 and extra lenses or an M9; I'd not consider a 'new' M8.2 at a price that could net me an M9. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWC Doppel Posted July 12, 2012 Share #6 Â Posted July 12, 2012 Both great Cameras, but now I have the 9 I wouldn't go back to the 8. Â I bought both low shutter actions used. They both have a lot of shutter actions now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinnfell Posted July 12, 2012 Share #7 Â Posted July 12, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) While I greatly enjoyed my M8, this is no contest. M9 hands down, even at a much higher price. Â 5000 actuations is peanuts. But of course do ask to take test pictures to look for defects. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelly Posted July 12, 2012 Share #8 Â Posted July 12, 2012 Used M9 without a doubt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucisPictor Posted July 13, 2012 Share #9 Â Posted July 13, 2012 Buy both cams and send me the 8.2, becasue I had this great idea! Â Same price? Yep, M9 indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWC Doppel Posted July 13, 2012 Share #10  Posted July 13, 2012 One of the obvious drawbacks is going wide with a fast lens  Replicate a 28 F2 on the M8 will mean a 21 Summilux, one stop 'consumed' by the ISO difference ( in practice from my experience 640 on my M8 was similar to 1000 on the M9)  That's heavy and expensive, the 28 Summicron on the M9 is stunning IMO and ultimately cheaper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongL Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share #13 Â Posted July 13, 2012 Thanks for all of you guys. I think it is true that M9 overall is way better than M8.2. Seriously, I prefer also the fullframe on M9. I will definitely go for M9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I prefer also the fullframe on M9. I will definitely go for M9 Â Hi, Â I have to disagree. The M9 is not way better than the M8.2. Quite the opposite. Just my opinion. One of Leica's best made digitals. Â Frank Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramosa Posted July 14, 2012 Share #15 Â Posted July 14, 2012 No question. M9. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilfredo Posted July 14, 2012 Share #16 Â Posted July 14, 2012 I love my M8 and prefer the IQ of the M8 but if I could get an M9 for the same price, I would go for it. The full frame option is a major plus. I agree, 5000 shutter actuations is peanuts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
