Looks like they have the bugs worked out. It's a superb camera, and tough as nails. Vastly superior meter, TTL, flash meter, viewfinder, feel, ergonomics. The only down side is it's big. But that actually helps with bigger lenses. It's a joy to use with the 70-180 2.8 Vario Apo Elmarit R. Next in line would be the R7. No question about it, Don Goldberg told me so. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch HEADLINE: Red Tape Holds Up New Bridge
