I've been watching the M9 creeping up on you Godfrey - good luck with the project!
LOL ... Oh, the money's in the bank already now. I'm just waiting to see whether I really really need/want it for the work I want to accomplish.

I'm ultra-conservative about spending so much for a body. I'll spend that on lenses much faster ... !

You could always wait for an M10 . . .
I'm not very convinced about 'need' with cameras these days . . . but I'm much to susceptible to 'want' :)

Right now what I 'want' is a Leica R 28-90 . . . . it's a terrible disease!

It is possible I'll wait for an M10 release and pick up an M9-P used shortly afterwards. I've only rarely purchased on the bleeding edge (K10D, E-5, GXR-M, that's about it in forty-some years) ... One wave behind is generally a lot more sensible. At least you know what the issues are.

But getting back to the Sonys ... ;-)

. . . . but that's the excitement - finding out what the issues are! Good issues as well as bad of course, and there are plenty of good issues with these new Sonys

That's fine if your intent is to find issues and experiment with gear and software ... and I do enjoy some of that. But my primary interest is in creating and presenting photographs and derivative art works, not experimentation with gear and software.
