In fact, if I'm reading the figures correctly, those four compact cameras outsold the entire R system. >> - --------------------------- Personally, I think the R8 is a very nice camera. But is it too big? Too great a departure from previous R's? Remember the new M5? Why would R sales be down so much, unless it is competing with the M system? Arturo
