Hm, I don't see too much marketing nonsense in there ... but then, I'm of course as biased as he is, I'm afraid <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' />
Are you referring to this part?
If so, I read it differently.
But yes, that Kodak sensor certainly is outdated. Question is, if it matters for your shooting style.
For mine, at least for the things I do with that camera, it doesn't.
YMMV, of course.
Yes, of course. Still, the results are "wow". Again and again, even after using it for months.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not desperately trying to defend the camera or that "review". However, having used one myself for a while now, I found it a well written piece of text about what's to like so much about this camera.
There is a lot NOT to like about the M9. Most of it isn't even mentioned in that text.
However, there are also a few things which make this camera a unique and a terrific tool. At least for some. And if you happen to fall into that group, any drawbacks and disadvantages of the camera just fade away. At least they do for me.
Sorry if it sounds silly, but what makes this camera so special is not something you'll find in benchmarks. It's hard to describe ...

Oh, but I am not in any way suggesting using that camera and its lenses can not be highly rewarding, I just fell over that silly part, basically. I am sure I would like using an M9 for certain things as well!
