I'm not surprised but I would be a little upset for my 7 grand. Leicas can't compete with an all around do everything camera. The M9 basically gets destroyed by its low light ability otherwise it would have scored well or at least in the top 10. Leica shooters generally don't care and will buy the body anyways. Look at all the flaws the M8 had and people went out and bought it no questions asked. Even when problems were widely reported about the UV on the sensor...

ROFL!!!!

The almost perfect for it's class D90 ranks #17 as opposed to it's direct rivals which are numbers 24 (Samsung Gx 20), 34 (Pentax K20d), 39(Sony a550),and the 49(Canon 50D).

It's indirect rivals are also below it too #18 D5000, #22 D300s, #26 D300, #27 Sony A700, #32 7D, #33 550D, and etc...

No sorry, the D300 "only" ranks in at #26 on the list :^(
But hey you can still laugh in the face of canon 7D(#32) and 1Dmk2(N)(#28 & 29), users! That's almost as good :^)

No better actually and laugh I will

Think about it, I'm getting great bang for the buck. The D40 was announced what, 4 years ago? That's ancient!

You do realize that the M9 is a 35mm camera right, not 4/3?

Yup, I don't care really. I want a small portable camera. Be it 4/3 35mm or whatever.

Just remember that this ranking only factors in the sensor and ignores all other qualities of individual cameras. But we won't complain about that until canon gets a camera into the top 5 ;^)

This might surprise some but I'm really not that surprised. So all of you D300S owners can now laugh in the face of Leica M9 owners everywhere :^)
