Oh well, maybe in the R9, with the built- >in motor drive (&>) ! Tom, I do shoot hail Mary a lot. You get a feel for it. But 98 percent I have my eye glued to the viewfinder. Mirror dampening is great. Bracketing would be good, but I don't miss it too much. I usually don't have time to bracket, and if I do, I like the shutter speed dial on the R8 much better than its predecessors. I don't want a built-in motor. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Everybody has a photographic memory- most just forget to load the film.
