Ron, I wouldn\'t say 10 years, but yes, the M9 is slower than I prefer. One of a short list of reasons I prefer to keep my M8 and wait for the M10. The list is something like: traces of IR sensitivity, slow speed, no chrome version, still the thicker (and taller) body (compared to MP, M6), no LV (not a deal breaker for me, but another minor point), mediocre high ISO, somewhat low battery life, slightly flatter colours and lower sharpness compared to M8u (I am not sure that the sharpness is curable, since it might just be FF vs. 1.33x crop), loud shutter (should be like my M8u), unless I am forgetting something. I would also love dynamically changing single, lens-appropriate framelines, for example via mirrored-in LCD frames. This should not really be much more complex than the M9 Titanium, I think.
This makes the M9 sound like a failure in my mind, which I don\'t intend. Fantastic camera, but as an upgrade from an M8u, I don\'t find it compelling.
