<p>I currently have an M9, which I love. I'm interested in upgrading to the M primarily so that I can use the EVF with wide angle lenses. I'm trying to decide if the M-P is with the additional money. There is about $1500 difference between the two best prices I could get (a certified, pre-owned M and a new M-P). I would love the sapphire glass, but I can get a glass screen protector. I love the look of the M-P, but cosmetics alone aren't enough to make me spend the extra money. I'm trying to decide if there is a real-world difference that I might experience in the buffer that would justify the difference in cost or if there are other considerations I haven't thought of. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!</p>

<p>Thanks for everyone's input. Certainly a lot to think about. I appreciate it!</p>

<p>We are planning a trip to the UK and Paris. I'm trying to travel as lightly as possible while still being able to have some flexibility photographically. I have an EM-1 and the 7-14, 12-40, and 35-100, however I was considering the LX100 as one camera is obviously lighter. I'm doubting that I would use the long tele much in cities, but was wondering what people's thoughts were on the need for a UWA vs using the LX100? I recognize the megapixel differences and the fact that the LX100 doesn't use the entire sensor. I'm open to other suggestions, as well. Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Yes. I have the Hadley Pro and love it. It will definitely fit, but I would consider a different bag for a DSLR. I sue my Hadley Pro for my mirrorless system and Leica but prefer the 5 and 7 series for my DSLR. You are getting away from the messenger-bag type appearance, but the shape is a little easier (IMHO) for accommodating larger cameras. If you ever use a grip, this will definitely not work with the Hadley Pro. Good luck!</p>

<p>I had thought about outfitting another Mac for this, but ultimately I found a CoolScan V at a good price and this is a USB scanner. FWIW, though, I found a lot of posts on various sites vouching for the Firewire to Thunderbolt converter. No one seemed to have a problem using that method. Just an FYI. Thanks to both of you for your help!</p>

<p>Thanks, JDM. I've searched for issues and called Apple. It's not a popular topic, but I also can't find anyone with any problems. The comments that have been posted on other sites are all favorable. I will report back with my experience.</p>

<p>Has anyone tried using this FireWire scanner with the Firewire-Thunderbolt adapter? If so, has it been successful? I'm aware of the software issues re: Nikon support and the need for a VueScan or Silverfast. Thanks in advance!</p>

I think the answer is to change formats. I literally just got back from Alaska (you'll love it, btw) on Saturday. After years of toting around a 7D and 5DM2 with a stable of L lenses, I made the switch to m4/3 and took an Olympus OMD E-M1 and and E-M5. Amongst the lenses I bought for this trip was an Olympus 12-40/2.8, which has similar specs to the Canon you are using now. I got great results. Any lousy shots I got were my fault, not that of the gear. You can probably lose half the weight this way. Enjoy your trip!
