ptarmigan Posted September 9, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 9, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Seems like a worthy successor and the price is pretty fair in comparison to the M8.2. Unfortunately (or fortunately ) as I only bought my M8 new in July this year I won't be rushing out to buy one immediately and I guess as a new M user I am less hampered by the 1.33 crop than many. Still, looks like I'll better start saving as I'd love that 18mps and (hopefully) better high ISO performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Hi ptarmigan, Take a look here M9 - are we happy and who's buying one?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Jonsi Posted September 9, 2009 Share #2 Posted September 9, 2009 I will buy a lottery ticket immediately. If that does not work, I will start saving... Jonsi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sat in my dealer's now waiting for one to arrive - and it looks like I just sold my 8.2 to another customer too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

graham_mitchell Posted September 9, 2009 Share #7 Posted September 9, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I never considered the M8 seriously but the M9 really has me thinking! I could see myself getting one next year perhaps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean Cristophe Posted September 9, 2009 Share #8 Posted September 9, 2009 you know this high-pricing leica has becomes a normal way of life. I find the M9 cheap and will most definately buy it once the corner resolution has become evident. at 5.5k it's still expensive but then again only marginally more than my M8.2 ... a bargain I would say. When announced a couple of months/weeks ago I really thought it would be up towards the 10K ... having decided not to buy it at that point... at almost half that price, well it is a bargain. ps. my business practices are thought over more realisticly!

michali Posted September 9, 2009 Share #9 Posted September 9, 2009 Me and my big mouth quoting myself a few days ago: "I'm not rushing into the M9 I'll wait until it's been out a few months blah, blah, blah". My dealer just called me, told me I can pick my M9 up on Friday...........I nearly wet my pants........can't wait! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

uptong Posted September 9, 2009 Share #11 Posted September 9, 2009 Just ordered one, did a very reasonable deal with Ffordes on some of my old Nikon kit, decided rather than PX M8 will hang onto that for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevelap Posted September 9, 2009 Share #12 Posted September 9, 2009 Going up to town tomorrow to get one, hopefully. I'm on the list but not sure yet how far up (or down )it......fingers crossed, as I'm off on a trip for a week on Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted September 9, 2009 Share #13 Posted September 9, 2009 My dealer just rang me to say that Leica UK are expecting to send out their first deliveries in a week and a half. I am in #1 position at my dealer but they are quite a small dealer, so may not be at the head of the queue. UK price is indicated at £4,800 including 15% VAT.

GMB Posted September 9, 2009 Share #19 Posted September 9, 2009 Jaap, why are you buying one in the UK? Price only? UK list price is basically the same as Eurozone price (unless dealers in UK give a bigger discount). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
