Oh I agree with all of this except the part about the 5D2 or the M9. I won\'t even shoot a 5D so it\'s completely irrelevant. For me the choice is between film or the M9. Both get me the results I want, film probably I am more happy with, but the M9 is cheaper and instant.
Yeah, I think the experience will be different depending if you are used to digital or film. For a DSLR user a transition to an M9 is a real liberation in terms of form factor and overall feel. That is definitely not the case if you are used to film M:s. It was only after I got my M6 that I realized how crude the M9 was in comparison. Still, for me the real choice is between a DSLR and an M9 and (for handheld use) the latter is just wonderful to use in comparison.
Anyway, I suppose I should post some shots. These are of the midsummer sunrise in Stockholm. Relating to the discussion above, I think I actually chose the wrong camera here for the task as the 5DII has a more graceful handling of highlights (film would have probably worked better as well). Shooting directly into the sun doesn\'t really bring out the best of the M9.
