The rumour is now too strong! First the profile in capture one. Now "Chasseur d'image" confirm the news.

I called my dealer to reserve if one of the first M9 and bad luck... My wife heard the conversation.... anyway. My dealer has no idea!

Then...

My wife: What the hell do you need another camera?!

Me: It's the new M9!

My wife: Are you going to spend again so much money?:mad:

Me: I work like a "CABRON" the whole day. So I'm going to do what I want :p

So this matter is solved.

When the M9 come, will be mine.:)

Maybe ruined her Christmas surprise present for you?

 

a M9 :)

 

Who says it will be available even then?

But time and again: ladies make color decisions and you could have ended up with a chrome one. :rolleyes:

Or with an Oly E-P1 :eek:

Whereas the Pani GF-1 (and it's Leica twin) look better,

while doing the same as the E-P1(=quater size chip in an almost same sized body) compared to

 

the M9

WHICH IS YOURS :)

Somethings happening.

 

Goecker here in Denmark are selling their M8 and M8.2 "demo" cameras for 2/3 of new price. as far as I can tell, all their Leicas have become "demo" cameras over night.

 

Now, should I get one or wait..?

Meister stated doing so in June/July . If you looked on a M8 it was a "Demo" ;)

I think you need to change the name of your thread...the M9 hasn't saved you from madness, it has created it:)

Leica need an advertising campaign that targets the wives - convinces them to get their partner the new one. Can you imagine the images to go with the following?

 

"Leica - invisibility for men."

 

"Gain the high moral ground. Get him the Leica."

 

"Noctilux. Concentrated beauty sleep."

 

"Leica S2. No excuses and complete obedience for a decade."

 

"With an S2 in one hand and a Summarit in the other, what do you have? Complete control!"

 

:D

Maybe Fotomiguel is onto something....

 

In event of complete rejection ... try LSS (Leica Spousal Substitution)

 

The M9 will never nag you for staying out with the boys til 5am

Won't insist you to take the garbage out or do the dishes

Looks great strapless

Can turn it on within .5 second

Can turn it off

Takes a broad view of everything

Sits on the table in the pub looking great

Won't complain when that new model you have been checking out comes for a sleepover

 

OOOps .... Better go - I think I hear the wife coming :D

...and you actually manage to understand how it works too.

It won't give you higher sensitivity when you request low.

It won't force you to explain why you want sRGB, and whether you're sure you want sRGB, and what's sRGB anyway? .

It won't start beeping while you asked for discrete advance.

 

Then again, when I'm in my sofa, handling my camera, sitting next to my wife, with my cat purring on my knees, I realize I'm surrounded by the three loves of my life...

 

Anyway, I've been coaching/programming her for the arrival of the M9 for a few months now.

By the time it arrives, I won't have any trouble...I hope.

 

(Might be an interesting thread to start...)
