It is basically bug free, nearly vibration free, MLU, 1/2 shutter speeds, etc... While the R8 is the next generation, and has these plus more features, I'm afraid that for me, the electronics/motor/and other 1st generation product anomolies, put it in the "experimental" catagory. I know that when I pick up my R7, it WILL work, all day today, tomorrow, next week, next year, etc. The winders work relentlessly, for ever. It is just simply a complete, end of the line, we finally got everything figured out, R camera. In a couple of years, I expect a rev to the R8. The current anomolies will be history, and some of the R8 features might interest me. But for now... where's that 10 foot pole?
