I was very suprised when I peered through the viewfinder. Dare I say it was even brighter than my SL with it's re-silvered prism block? I'm a big fan of the ergonomics of the R8/9 and I actually like the way it looks. The reasons why I don't own one are because it is even bigger than the SL (but it does seem lighter), I prefer mechanical cameras and I know that the SL can probably be dropped off a cliff and will still work.
