Just my two cents but I use an M9 and a D700. I have to say I use the D700 
for work mainly as I do interior and exterior architectural shots for a 
number of clients, as well as my own real estate business. I usually do HDR 
shots for them and find the quality of Files great. The clients mainly use 
for Internet and some small photo sizes. I've tried the M9 with this work 
and using the bracketing feature and it's ok but to me does not seem as easy 
or quick to use for setup as the D700. However for personal shots of quality 
and large printing I only use the M9 and am extremely pleased with that 
camera. I love that it's small, quiet and can be around your neck hidden 
under a light jacket. The quality of the files and glass has a quality of 
its own without much after processing compared to the D700.
