The M has higher DR and can cope with contrasty scenes better plus can go to higher ASA, but not the extremes of some other cameras. I find the add on EVF awkward to work with for anything handheld, not tried my ultra-wides yet though. So for many people it is not a worthwhile upgrade to the M9, so why spend the money? That is assuming you can find one for sale ;-) john - who has used both > -----Original Message----- > > I think have have said the M240 in particular is going to be a very > successful > camera based and my many decade experience in photography.
