My dream camera is something whittled down to the essence of an M9, but in a smaller package and at 1/10 of the price. The GF1 was the closest we’ve gotten thus far, and while the GF2 has simplified things, it’s not simplicity in the direction I was hoping for.

Initial thoughts on the GF2 announcement — Satellite — Craig Mod

That’s pretty much what I am after as well. I think a Leica M9 is an incredible sexy and capable camera (without ever having used one) and the only full-frame camera I’d be interested in. But financially it’s just so out of reach.

I pretty much agree with his first impressions of the recently announced GF2. I think I will still rather get a GF1 for a lower price instead. The new features of the GF2 are just not compelling enough. And getting the latest and greatest is just a waste of money anyway.
