Not as bright as the EOS 1n??????? I just switched from Canon to Leica and the R8 is easily 2 times brighter than the EOS, may be even brighter. Can't speak for the F5 as I have not looked at one of those monsters yet, but if I remember correctly someone said the R8 was brighter than the F5. Harrison McClary http://people.delphi.com/hmphoto
