I have an SL, R4SP, and a R8, which I bought thinking I would get a DMR. Can't afford one now, but maybe I can find one at a good price, or the R10 will come out with a good price. ;-) I have a D200, but find I pick up the R8 90% of the time. The D200 has some neat features, but the R8 and the R glass is my first choice, period. No uncertainty at all.
