The R8 is a much better camera than the R7, but I used to have an R7 and loved it. If you use flash much at all, there is no competition. Fill flash with faster films is really a big reason for 1/250 flash sync, as well as shooting sports. And you can get a demo R8 for around $800. I think the additional $700 to $800 would be worth it over a good used R7. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Maniac: An early computer built by nuts...
