I have tried both the F5 and the R8 prior to making a buying decision a year and a half ago, and used them side by side. The R8 is better for eye glass-wearers than the F5, as it is easier to see the whole frame in one look. I had to turn my eyes from left to right to do that with the F5. And on top of that, the LCD illumination is much better implemented on the R8, except in extremely bright sunlight where it becomes difficult to see.
