I don't think you'll find "too" many others using that particular body, but we have had some discussion and a few images:

That's like, "Anybody out there driving a Ferrrari/Lotus/Porsche?" as we all look at our Toyota Corollas and Honda Accords, reminding ourselves that any modern camera can take good pictures just like any modern car will still get us from point A to point B.....
Please do. clap

Quite. One is in no way a substitute for the other. Merely philosophies borne of each other's limitations.
I bought an M9 when they came out a few years back.
It is funny. It has lots of limitations an slr doesn't have. Manual focus, most of the time, just can't keep up with a good slr auto. The metering is fair at best. The rear LCD could have been on a camera in 2003.
For about 18 months I had the M9 and a 5d2 with lenses for both in the closet. Thought I'd shoot both for a while and see how I felt.
Finally sold all the Canon stuff after realizing that it was collecting dust and I never used it anymore.
Obviously not for everyone (sports, telephoto, macro, video, tilt/shift. etc.) but the bottom line for me (who does photography for fun) which camera do I want to take out today? Answer was always the Leica.
Things change - maybe I'll get tired of it and sell it some years down the road, but for me right now it makes photography fun.
