Perhaps a cold shower would help. Eric.

Fun stuff, admitedly, BUT, exactly the stuff that led me to the simplicity
of the Leica line from Canon EOS 1n a number of months ago. I'm loving the
M6 and R6.2 just for what they are not! I even traded an R7 for the
simplicity of the 6.2.

It must be pointed out that I have the time to be contempletive in my
photographing. If I were shooting fast action, I'd still have the EOS 1n.
The M6, well, that's my carry around, street box. Also, flash hasn't been a
factor, but if fill flash outdoors becomes a factor, maybe I'll look
seriously at the R8. I am quite interested in how they do the "easy loading"
even in manual advance mode. Sure would like that on an M6!
