Not a particularly well engineered comparison, but interesting never 
the less. It provides some insight into the differences between an M9 
and an MF camera (and incidentally, a Canon 1Ds III).

Some of the things they discovered are well known to users of Canons 
and Leicas; ie, there is a 'veil' over the Canon images, and post 
processing cannot achieve the accutance of the M9 images. Also, 
putting a 24-105 zoom on the Canon is just giving away way too much 
when the Leica sports a 50 ASPH.

But basically, an M9 can, with good technique, stand up quite well to 
MF at sizes up to A3+.
