The number of times I have to count frames before switching out to a new "roll" is diminished. I can shoot 600 pictures before having to change a roll. Many, many, many more if I shot jpegs instead of raw. I no longer have to worry about going from a dark inside to a bright outside to a dark inside to a bright outside to a... you get the picture. And now, so do I. :) Instantly changeable ISO is wonderful. I think digital cameras should have an ISO mode. I'll pick the aperture *and* the shutter speed. Let the camera figure out what ISO to select to make it happen. I think one of the Nikons does this. I'd love for the M9 to follow suit. If I had $10k that I wouldn't miss, I'd plunk mine down for a pair of M8s. But I don't, so I won't. That's not to say that won't change in the future. For right now, I'll watch from the sidelines. -- Eric http://canid.com/
