With the Leica M9P
(or M-9P and M9P) around for a little while, I decided to put it up against my trust Canon 5D Mk II
and the Olympus EP2
(or E-P2 and EP-2) to see how the high ISO noise levels are. Granted, all three of these are different cameras: one is an EVIL camera, one is a DSLR and the other is a rangefinder. They are all used in different ways, but one of the complaints that many people state on street photography, photojournalism, and wedding forums is that the 5D Mk II is the only one with good enough high ISO capabilities.
Well, is it? Take a look at our non-scientific test and judge for yourself.

I just decided to do some casual shooting—taking pictures of various things around my house inside and outside. One picture that did come out very strong was a picture I took of my puppy. In daylight or areas with a good amount of lighting the camera performs very strong. At this point I feel as though I have become totally comfortable with the camera as far ergonomics go.
