But how does it feel?

Woody, I'd love to read more, I am a landscape shooter but have moved in a bit closer with the M8 and am now shooting with a slightly different eye. That said, I fully appreciate the wider field of view that is offered and have always gravitated to wider lenses for the perspective they offer.

What Sean Reid did not cover in his (generally excellent) article was how the two cameras (M8 and M9) compare when printing 22x30 images. Certainly for most of us landscape shooters this is the ultimate test as our images are meant to be printed (large) and hung on walls to be seen.

 

I have done this test and the M9 is so clearly superior it is not worth debating (IMHO of course). So for me, the evolution of the M8 (and yes it is evolutionary not revolutionary) to the M9 is like a breath of fresh air.

Hi Woody,

 

Indeed we know that, all else being equal, those of us who want to make large prints do well to start out with files of the large pixel dimensions. And, as I discussed in the review, there are lower noise advantages to the M9 files (compared to those from the M8) at virtually any print size.

 

Tod Papageorge (who has long worked with 6 x 9 cameras) and I were discussing some time ago that the files from the M9 seem so far like they compare well to scans of 6 x 9 negatives.

 

I'm glad to hear that the M9 files are printing well for you. Where do you hang all these giant prints? <G>

 

Cheers,

 

Sean

I'm afraid that I don't understand your question.

IF the question was that you would like 1 stop increments when holding down the ISO button, instead of turning the wheel (which will give 3 increments per ISO stop), use the up/down arrows inside the wheel, and the ISO will change one full increment per push.

I see what you're saying. Yes, indeed, that's a very good point.
