This is exactly what Erwin is talking about. This is nonsense. The R8's 
matrix meter is right up there. The TTL Flash meter is only matched by two 
Contax cameras (Built in). And what does one need on a camera to make it 
modern? Useless features? AF is not useless, except in about 75 percent of 
what I shoot. And not that important for the other 25 percent. That makes 
it obsolete? No.

Always be on the lookout for conspicuousness (or, It's hard to tell if 
someone is inconspicuous).
