I agree with Ted.

R6.2 is great cameras but it suffer from :

the speed limitation: 2000 instead of 8000 and synchro 100 instead of 250=

and ...

THE NOISE !!!, listen to the shutter noise of the R6.2 (or R6)and then to=

the R8 !!
(with a film in the camera).

The R6-R6.2 are not the M6 equivalent for the R family as far as noise is=

concern.
