2009 Camera Of The Year?

[Greg McCary]

John I have been pretty impressed with the pictures I have seen from the Nikon D3S due to the low noise at high iso's. But look at the price difference between it and the EP1. It is almost not a fair fight. Although I do see a lot of promise in the m4/3rd system. I think the M9 should be on the list too. Even though there probably not to many Leica shooters here at PR.

I don't really think of price as a consideration - unless a camera was incredibly good and also incredibly cheap. And I don't think we have anything like that this year. It's more a question of which new camera advanced camera tech or useability the most. I don't know enough about the M9 to judge. Maybe you can tell us why you think it should be included? I didn't forget about Leica, though. After I posted I I wondered if I shouldn't have included the Leica S2. And there's the Leica X1, too...
