Maybe not as tank like as the R8, but certainly much lighter and faster to use. Of course, I know that they are not blessed with the Leica optics, but hey, as long as the camera gets the picture who cares. Kind of explains why many pros in your field are using SLRs and more AF SLRs.

(maybe even a proper motor >advance for the R8) I'd rather have Canon's bankroll. But I wouldn't want whoever specs. the "ruggedness" of their cameras to get involved. :-) Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Friends help you move.
