Charlie - Absolutely, the color rendition of the M9 has that umami that's undefinable, though some call it CCD. Maybe the M10 will fall somewhat short of that, but it looks like I can now easily sell my M9-P and MM in Bangkok for good prices, and expect to have an M10 from a store in Paris when I'm there in a few weeks, although they say they still don't know the rate of deliveries they'll get from Wetzar. I figure that whenever I miss the M9 umami, I can always shoot Portra 400...
