I covered the D7000 question I think, probably in too much detail for some ;-) I have now added in a couple of M9 images: 1. the M9 ff at 18mp http://tinyurl.com/3mdh7ey 2. now the 'perfect' user size (about 12mp IMO). Here I have cropped to that size. It allows me to frame and shoot very quickly. With my M8 I always wanted to fill the frame so that I was using as many of the pixels as I could. With the M9 I can be a bit loose -- RF framing works best this way for me. Anyway you still get bucket loads of detail http://tinyurl.com/3mwc2qc 3. now lets see if the CCD can match or surpass the D3s. The images are not similar, but I've scaled the image back to be the same size as 1/4 of the Nikons pixels ie 3mp and then I've interpolated up to 4mp as I did with the previous examples. For me, this sort of result just rubs salt in the wound of losing the R system. Like many of you I would love this sensor, even with its limitations of noise in my DMR/R10. All it would then need is all the scary technology and the images would truely 'kick ass'. http://tinyurl.com/4xgseql Jaw dropping. Alastair
