Our old friend Lars recommended this strap technique for handholding at slow shutter speeds.

Monopod? And you talk from personal experience, Leica M in the street setup with let’s say 50mm lens, somehow I don’t think so.  

Not sure where you got your second quote, please don’t mix it up when quoting me, none of those words are mine. My remark was that people in professions that require steady hand just have steady hands for photography, or at least claim to have steady hands. I personally use 1/4f rule for my shutter speeds if light and aperture allows it plus all sort of bracing and improvised stabilisation technics.  No problem getting non blurry image on 24Mp camera.

To set the record straight:  Yes, I am speaking from personal experience.  I have used a monopod in my documentary work with very good results when photographing in available darkness.  I have not used a monopod when doing street photography, but I would not rule it out for use in during night time street shooting. 

In looking back through this thread, you make no mention of doing street photography prior to your post #40, which is after my post which you apparently object to.

As for the second quote, see post #19 in this thread, the post directly above your post #18.  There was no mix up on my part.

(...someone's hungry kids at their ex-wife's home...:) totally agree with the keep M246 post.  I have a lot of small kids so the video is actually super handy!

Some are talking about the the 40mb files requiring a faster shutter speed.  The thing is, ISO is a non issue, so you can very much afford the higher shutter speed with no image quality loss.  One can rationalize anything. Its an amazing camera....
