The reason of course was that they used the same processing chips as in the M8 while the M9 was processing about 50% more info in each picture. When I asked about it the Leica rep said that they didn't want to change too much circuitry in the M9 to avoid reliability issues. From Henning I understand that the X100 is also a slow processor. If true then that would be a deal breaker for me. So I am waiting to see what the M10 brings and in the meantime staying with my M8 - which took me three tries to get a reliable one. Cheers Howard
