It would be more fair to compare the R8 with say... an F5 or >EOS >N1. Shawn, You are correct, of course. I have never used the the F5 or EOS. I would think that if you don't use AF (which is a big "if") the R8 would be easier to use. Even so, when I had Nikon N50, with a made in Thailand 35-70 zoom lens, I was surprised at the qualitly of the slides I got with it. Unless you go for a lot of more advanced features - it will do the job. With the discounts I think it is about the best value for a low cost body - and you can use all the Nikon lens with it. I think the R8 will give me what I liked in the F4 - knobs eassier to set than the buttons and menus. Dick
