Subject: [Leica] M9 - not much more expensive than M8?

I'm responding to the following comment made in an earlier posting: 
"Salgato is using a Canon Full frame.
I bet he'd rather be using Leica glass."

I don't know why Salgado uses a Canon. Besides full frame it could that 
the Canon has autofocus for all I know. What I do know is that lacking 
a full frame on the M8 is not a big deal to me. Even if I didn't do my 
own printing, it wouldn't be a big deal. I also shoot with a Canon. The 
Leica glass is superior. I have photos in my office that I shot with 
the Canon. When I look at one of them, I often think, "That image would 
look better had I used my M8."

A full frame M9 would be nice, but not a necessity for me. I won't 
hurry to get in line. I understand, however.

Doug
