I have a D40x right now. It’s my first dlsr.
I want to have an upgrade cause I’m like addicted now to photography.

Im looking at the Hasselblad H3D II - 50 for my serious photography (landscapes, portraits, family gatherings such as birthdays, vacations, and reunion) and also for travel.
First, I was interested in an 8 x 10" View Camera but that seems too impractical and hard to use coz of the film developing and the sheer size of it so now I’m looking at the digital H3D II - 50. I’m thinking maybe it won’t match the view camera when it comes to resolution but at least it’s the closest.

Now, for my walk around camera and also when travelling, I want to carry a light camera so I won’t be carrying a large bulky camera.
I’m considering the Leica M8.2 (light, compact, and durable)

So have anyone used/tested these cameras?
Or do you have any suggestions?

How bout the M9. Should I wait for it cause it seems like forever that Leica won’t replace the M8 while Nikon and Canon are replacing their models very frequently.

I have 3 Hasselblad H3D 50’s and they are not very good, in fact I will swap you one of them for your D40x and if you include a memory card I will chuck in a Leica M8.2 as well, I keep one in every room of the house in case I suddenly get inspirational.

My last paragraph may seem ridiculous, but is it still far more believable than that crap you just wrote.
