Yes, the M9-P's sensor is CCD based, so, there are no miracles to be expected for high iso performance. True. I am waiting for my final decision until I can take a Leica M into my hands, hoping...

I am not sure many would like paying Leica prices... Have you tried out a Leica recently? I had the chance to get a Leica M9-P for testing purpose over a weekend. The delivered image quality is...

True. This is the silent mode of the Nikon D4 as well, but on the Nikon it basically means you disturb the audience twice, when pressing the shutter and when releasing the shutter button.

Pentax has greatly enhanced the AF in the latest K-5 II(s) and I have to say it has become a good performer, even in low light. But when it comes to AF-C and subject tracking, there is still...

Thank you Marcus and thank you all on this forum.  Yesterday, I took some time in the shop and compared the shutter sound of this 6D (in silent mode) with the sound of my K-5 IIs.  The sound is...

Great series, Mike, thank you for sharing. I am sure you will appreciate this K-5 IIs just like I do, it is a fantastic camera, especially together with an exceptional lens, like the DA*300 or your...

I am taking tomorrow my K-5 IIs to the shop so that I can make a side by side comparison with the 6D. Today, I played a bit with the 6D and while the shutter is not silent, it seems a bit better...

What  is the influence of Magic Lantern on the shutter? Does it simply capture a frame out of the liveview stream?

Probably yes, but I don't know. I was never able to have one in the hands, which is not a wonder considering it costs here in Switzerland twice the price of the camera in the US. I would also want...

Ok, thank you for that link. I will try to put my hands on a 6D in a shop and check it, from the video, it seems at least as loud as the K-5 IIs, and too loud for the intended purpose.

Hi I am shooting a lot of events, sports and concerts especially. I mostly use a Nikon D4 when shooting events. While shooting a pop/rock concert with a Nikon D4 is not a problem, when it comes to...

I bought mine in September 2007 and never had the slightest problem, despite using it in adverse conditions like covering the Volvo Ocean Race from a zodiac as press photographer:

An f2.8 lens is not only very helpful in low light. I like this Sigma 120-300/2.8 especially for sport events not only for the extra reach over a 70-200/2.8, but also for the possibility it offers...

I had the new Sigma 120-300 Sport version in hand in Canon mount just a few days ago (waiting to get the Nikon mount version delivered). Yes, the Sigma 120-300 S is weather sealed and the lens is...

Reach is seldom a problem for me at concert photography, but high iso performance is and this is a topic where the M9 is too limited. Professional lit concerts are not a problem, but I also shoot...

Thank you for your input. Very nice b&w gallery.

No, the M9 will not be up to the task for concert photography, at least not where I am taking photos, the camera should be able to manage 2500 - 3200iso without too much noise and here the M(240)...

thank you, nice pic as well. So far, I am really taken away by the performance of the Summicron 50/2 which came with the M9 Leica provided me over the weekend.

yes, true, I will have to consider such a case as well to dampen the shutter sound even more. Basically, for the intended use of concert photography, I would start with a 35/2 and 90/2.

Yes, thank you Daniel, it definitely helps. From your input and the one of the others in this thread, it seems that Leica kenses really have an edge over the competitors. I will continue to look...
