The R8 has brighter hands down! I know you guys are going to get on my case about her buying Canon. The problem is I don't pay her enough to buy Leica R cameras! :) However before you all get jumping on me, she is buying an M6 as she thinks it's the most wonderful camera in the world! And now understands how "we the great ones!:) yessssssssssss!" get our great photographs! :) The problem is, I don't need anymore competition at this time in my life and she is a very very good shooter! But there isn't any question, the R8 has quite an incredible viewing system and I improved mine by switching to the "all matt" screen. Which I prefer for macro and tele work. ted
