I agree.....it just seems more difficult for me to focus quickly with the M6
than with the R cameras.  

If I wanted a better R body than the R4....more sturdy and with
higher top shutter speed.....which would you recommend?
I am looking at the R6.2 or R7.  The R8 is just a bit too bulky
for my hands.
