Some help here, Please!
What are the differences between the R6 and the R6.2? I thought the R6 had
the electronic shutter, whereas the R6.2 was mechanical, but I borrowed an
R6, and took out the battery and the shutter seemed to work just fine!

Dan,

They both have a mechanically-timed shutter.  The R6.2's top shutter speed
is 1/2000 vs. the R6's 1/1000, and the R6.2 is said to be quieter.  I've
read that the R6 might occasionally make its own exposures but that this
"feature" was taken out of the R6.2.
