In most respects I really like this >camera, but......the on off switch needs A LOT of work IMHO. >> I traded my R8 system this week. There were several things that bothered me. a) The switch b) I purchased the R8 with the anticipation of a quality winder or motor. The winder that I received did not work consistently and I did not like it's poor quality 3) The bulk 4) Slowness of obtaining accessories,ie., 35-70 ROM, 80-200 ROM and winder. I thought that I could live without auto-focus and I probably could. However, it sure makes life easier for action photos. The R8, in my opinion, is not even close to the M6. I cherish my M6 system but will not miss the R8. Robert B.
