You'd be much better off with an R7. With the digital shutter (as opposed
to analog in previous R models) you have much finer control of exposure,
and thus more accurate exposure. Who cares if it's "value" to collectors is
maintained. Is it an investment, or a tool? I've used the R7, it's a very
fine, and reliable camera. And gives you 1/2 stop increments. The R6.2
can't do that with near the precision if at all.
