I have already tried to buy one, but my dealer will not even admit it  
will exist or give a price. After the M8 debacle, where I waited until  
2007 March and got a trouble free camera, i do not think the M9 will  
be as risky a purchase.
The only thing I don't like about the M8 is the mechanical design of  
the base latch on the body casting.
