Assuming that the Leica M9 lives up to its leaks, I'm guessing that approximately 100% of current M8 owners would rather have an M9 instead. Some might consider keeping the M8 as a backup, but I suspect that sooner or later most will ditch it.
Meanwhile, the improvements on the M9 will bring the M8's shortcomings into even sharper relief (low pixel count by today's standards, mediocre high-ISO performance, the need for those dratted IR filters) so would-be buyers of used M8s likely will decide to hold out until they can afford an M9.
Lots of potential sellers / few potential buyers = price crash, right?
So, this poll: How low would the price of a like-new M8 have to drop relative to the M9 before you'd consider buying one?
