Hi all, just an update about my M9 and sensor replacement. I got it back today from Leica NJ. Based on the paperwork, it *appears* they replaced the sensor, but I haven't had the chance yet to actually shoot with it to confirm (busy all day for the next couple days). Funny thing and perhaps typical Leica, after the confirmation of receipt email I received from them a couple weeks after sending it in, I didn't hear anything from them until I received a UPS shipping notification by email yesterday. Zero additional communication... no confirmation that the sensor glass was

Yes. So odd. I sent my MM in the day after the announcement. When did you send your in?

Thanks Edward and Chuck.

The first thing that I noticed when shooting was how responsive this M is. After start up, it is there and it is there after every shot. I am not an FPS guy but when I was at home and taking it through it's first paces, when I put it on continuous (5ps) it never slowed down or stopped. I would do bursts of 10-12 shots and the buffer never stopped like with previous digital Ms. The book says 40 images continuous at 5fps. I didn't test it to 40 frames but I believe it. What's more important to me then the FPS, there is no lag time now between shots, like say with the M-E or my original MM.

Another thing you will notice is just how good it is at high ISOs. I think most of the street shots that I posted were at 3200 and 6400 ISO. I can see from tests that I've done that I can go up to 20,000 and still have files I can use. Maybe higher if pressed with NR. Having the ISO dial on the left side is cool for several reasons. I like the fact that I can just glance down at the camera and see all of my setting. You no longer have to go to the menu to see the ISO you are shooting at.

The thinner body many like but I never disliked the body size of the M 262 or the M9/M-E like some folks.

The viewfinder is really nice. The higher magnification makes it seem easier to focus though I never really had issue with the other digital Ms.

It is like the M 262, very quiet. They are about the same in regards to how quiet they are.

Also there is just an on/off switch. No timer or continuous (those are now in the menu) so no chance of it being on the timer when you do not want it to be. Though I don't think that really ever happened to me. But it had bumped over to continuous on occasion on my MM, M-E and M 262.

In my opinion this is the most responsive digital M yet. I thought that i'd post this link to a review that shows just how far Leica has come concerning low light capabilities. The color from this new sensor is also really sweet.
Here's a review that you may or may not have read but skip down to the ISO comparison to the 5DIV.
http://www.jaycassario.com/blog/2017/2/4/leica-m10-first-impression-review

So far I really like this camera. Definitely my favorite color digital M. I now have 3 color M bodies (M-E, M 262 and M 10). I was always a little nervous only having two color bodies for my pro work. Having been a CPS member and having that service available really spoiled me. I wish that Leica's service matched their product but iit is what it is.

Chuck those B&Ws from the new MM are just insane. It is SO TEMPTING to pick a new one up but my wallet is a bit light at the moment. I was budgeting the funds for the camera to be in late this year. early next.

I hope my thoughts help if you are thinking about pulling the trigger on one. If you like the DSLR experience and love auto modes, auto focus and the features that those cameras bring then this is probably not going to be your camera. But if you are like me and think less is more, really like a true rangefinder, are familiar and really love Leica Ms then you might want to give this a spin.

Oh crap one other thing that I forgot to mention is that when you pull up the ISO dial it is positioned so that with it unlocked and up you can turn it with your thumb of your left hand if you need to change ISO rapidly.
