BTW here\'s another illustration of scale:
I know this is unfair because the 500D is on a par with the M9 at high isos, so this Leica combination can see in lower light. However, it does illustrate that APS-C bodies, cheap as they are, are not that much deeper and more cumbersome than the M9.
More false comparisons serve no purpose. Try the comparison with a Canon L 35 1.4 w/hood on the Rebel and included a front photo. BTW, the Canon 35 weighs 2X+ more than a Leica 35 1.4.
A DRF is not as versatile as DSLR and those who buy Leica are not off put at its price. This is pretty settled but continuously discussed. The reality is RFs are niche cameras and Leica doesn\'t have many competitors. Only a growing RF market will spur innovation and I don\'t see that happening. So, the M9 is what it is and all the DSLR proselytizing isn\'t going to significantly impact sales.
