Leica M9 reviews and ISO comparison (full-size samples!) (updated)

Today is the day that Leica and the reviewers agreed to unleash their reviews and hands-on findings to the world! It is raining M9 hands-on reviews today :-)

We start with Luminous Landscape, where they share what they discovered after three days in Germany with the Leica M9 and unlimited access to all-things-Leica. As usual, we won't spoil their findings here. This is part #1, they will add more after they go on a field-trip with the camera later this month. A discussion of the review is under-way in the LL forums.

Next up, highly recommended by Luminous, Reid Reviews (subscribers only) has posted the first part of his extensive M9 review. Being a poor blog, we can't afford subscriptions, so we don't know what's in it :)

Next, we have (well not we, we) something for the pixel-peepeurs at Focus Numerique, where they have posted an ISO elevator crop. Click on each tiny crop to see a full-size JPEG version. OMG, ISO 2500 is ...! They also have a hands-on segment.

We will add more here as they get published. And remember, tomorrow (Friday) Luminous will be posting his S2 initial field-report!
