I have owned two digital rangefinder cameras. The RD1 pleased me much more than the Leica M8 did. I have always wanted a full frame camera with a Kodak sensor. The new Leica M9 is a major step forward for those of us that love to take photographs with a no frills digital camera.
Thank you for the photos of the M9.

The M9 isn't about feature set or "performance capabilities". It's about a style of shooting. A rangefinder is a liberating shooting experience for the documentary photographer. There is a good chance I'll get a 2nd M9 body and shoot my entire 2010 wedding season with the cameras.
Anyone that would call a camera "snobby" is missing the point entirely.
The M8 is to the M5 what the M9 is to the M6.
