Forum split M8/M9 - should it remain?

My guess is that the dust will settle.

 

There are a couple of indicators -- (1) posts per day and (2) the M8:M9 ratio.

 

Because I'm reading all three topics (X1, M8, & M9), I now log onto "Digital Forum". One thing I check is the ratio between M8 and M9. A few days after the introduction(s) the ratio was easily 4:1 in favor of M9. M8 was a backwater. But as that ratio draws closer, and if the volume isn't too high, then joining might be an option.

A vote to reunify.

 

In the M9 forum, of the top 30 threads as I write, 5 directly state a comparison with the M8 in the thread title.

 

A third of the rest concern common issues – base plate labels, scratched LCD screens, shipping, sensor dust, battery charging, passport.

 

Posting to the M8 forum seems much more disciplined, with only one M8/9comparison thread. Perhaps M8/8.2 owners are more at peace with themselves.

Keep them seperate for a while until the dust settles...

 

the dust never settled... M9 owners are still mutually reinforcing their choice-supportive bias by discussing how much 'better' the M9 is than the M8 - always right up there in the top ten discussions on the M9 section.

 

Funny thing is, I never really see any images that convincingly back-up the supposed superiority of the later camera.

 

Keep the sections separate - I believe most M8 owners prefer it that way.

Maybe people want to see them merged in order to demand an M9P forum later :D

 

Seriously I can see the ratio behind the request, but do not care much either way.

Perhaps wait for Photokina 2012 to make a change. Then the M9ers can join us outdated M8s and allow the M10 elite have a world to themselves.

 

;)

 

C'mon; they are all digital M's... how niche does a forum need to be?

Let's hope a M10 forum will soon let the M8&9 fora merge and make these two models more affordable for many new fans of Leica M digital.

Could we please have two M camera forums, one for the even-numbered models and one for the odd-numbered ones?
