I'd like to know what features this camera have: program modes, shutter speeds, mirror lock-up, etc. etc. and how different is this from an R7? How is the reliability of this camera & Is $800 a good "used" price for this camera ? Many thanks, Ferdinand Would anyone also know if the older 28/2.8 elmarit, 60/2.8 macro lens, 90/2.0 Summicron, and 135/2.8 is the same optical performance as the latest one since this would probably be our priority lens.
