It hasn't arrived yet, so like an nervous expectant father I did that >extra< bit of post-purchase googling. I discovered the 'R8 / R9 film scratch' issue... Searching the internet and LUG archives shows that this is an old issue. Was it ever resolved? Is there a DIY fix? Do all R8s eventually scratch film no matter what you do? Drat, Eric hey, calm down. Wait until you get the camera. Shoot some film. If it scratches, you have a problem. Get it fixed. If it doesn't, enjoy. Otherwise buy the new digi back as I understand there is NO film scratching problem with it!
