Truth is he didn't miss it, he just chose not to report it. He's sipped the
Leica Kool Aid and can't be trusted for hardware reviews. Kind of like his
infatuation with the Sony A900, despite it's amazingly high noise levels.

Or biased. Take a look at the RG site's 'about" page and see if the resume
of his writer seems to indicate any bias.

Hmmmm......

I chose not to make that allegation, but you are far from alone in
making it.

Ludicrous Landscape panders to a certain class of camera user who
demand that they feel good about their purchases, regardless of any
flaws. Reichmann massages their egos and reassures them that their
brand loyalty is justified, even when it isn't.

Heck, *especially* when it isn't. ;-)

The trouble is, when a really good product comes along, such as the
Leica M9, Reichmann's praise of it doesn't seem in any way credible in
view of his earlier errors and omissions regarding the M8.

Still, Leica M9 sales haven't been unduly affected. There is a very
long waiting list with people prepared to pay well over list price to
get hold of one quickly.

He's a landscape photographer! The Sony A900 has high ISO noise levels
because it's optimised for best performance at low ISOs -- which is
what landscape photographers want. You can't optimise a sensor for
both of best low ISO imge quality and high ISO noise performance. You
can choose one or the other. A sports or event photographer would
choose high ISO noise performance.
