Better, man, better! But what the matrix and all that jazz is about is when you want to work fast, and you don't have time to get the metering tweaked just right. In news situations (like when one is being shot at, and don't think it only happens in Lebanon - a news photographer was just murdered in Oklahoma) there is often no time to tweak. That's where every technological advantage is helpful. As far as I'm concerned, the R8 is good enough. But that doesn't mean the RGB meter isn't better. Just by how much, and for what use? ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch To say a human being is nothing but molecules, is like saying a Shakespearean play is nothing but words.
