In your place, I would buy an R4sP (R4s2 in Europe) -- except for TTL flash, it has most of the useful features of the R5 (the program mode is less sophisticated), and it costs only about $600. Actually, in your place I'd buy an R6 for about $900 -- it's mechanical, gives mirror prefire, TTL flash, and leaves out all the silly autoexposure stuff. - -Patrick
