The R4 had interchangeable screens, and they can be interchanged with those of the later cameras, but they were weren't as bright as the later ones. If you had problems focusing an R4 or earlier camera, possibly a later one would work better. I don't think, though, that they'd ever be quite as easy to focus in low light as a good rangefinder. Anyway, I like my R cameras -- they feel good in the hand, the lenses are very good, and my R6.2 especially just delights me every time I use it. But, as my grandmother used to say, "Para gustos se hicieron colores, y cada loco con su tema." (You might think of this as "Chacun a son gout" in Spanish.)
