Until someone develops an auto-comp feature on a camera, the "process" comparison between any camera is the same. The great photographers of yesteryear had little choice of hardware. We're all so spoiled...enjoyably so! : ) Arturo In a message dated 2/4/99 6:57:16 PM Pacific Standard Time, tedgrant@islandnet.com writes: << >I've heard it said once and I'll say it again: > > You buy Leica because you enjoy the "process" of taking the picture.

If one wants all the auto everything stuff, then one shouldn't buy Leica and if they do buy Leica, they need not make continuing comparisons to Nikon and Canon. Like it should be, "who cares!" It's apples and oranges! I like both. I've used all three types of slr's, but my preference is the R8 or R7's, 2 of which I'll use until the R8 motor arrives with the new millenium or later, 2001? 2010? :) When the motor is available I'll dump the other R7's and replace with R8's. Giving me three R8's and motors to work with. Ted Grant >>
