The R8 design is awfull, the most ugliest piece of photographic equipment I've ever seen. <<<<<<<<<< I'd have tought such comments in this group were sacrilege. But I couldn't agree more. I want to like the R8. For those whose hands it fits, its capabilities are wonderful. Its viewfinder is second to none. But the camera's overt chunkiness spreads my not-all-that-small fingers to the point of cramping after holding it a relatively short time. In my hands, the camera is an ergonomic debacle. Two words I could not apply to the R8's design are "ergonomic" and "attractive". But those same two words are ones I'd attach to an M6 in a second. Larry
