As someone (a male someone) at the LUG-Leica-Photokina meeting said, " holding an R8 is like holding a woman" and of course the Leica officials agreed. Tina, you can think that holding your R8 is like hugging your husband. :) The point is that it is a very very holdable (feels really really good) camera. It can become integrated into your sensory system. I don't own an R8, but I borrowed one at Photokina for a few hours. If I were in the reflex camera hand holding mind set, I would definitely have R8's. I really didn't want to give it back. Get one in your hands for awhile, and you might not want to let go.
