Hi Mark,

I am a great fan of the R6.2.  Like the energizer bunny, it kept on
performing hour after hour, day in and day out, in -45 degrees F in Alaska.
Other brands froze solid.  With its simplicity, it is a joy to use.  Yes, it
doesn't have the electronic bells and whistles of so many other bodies, but
it has what is needed to take a good image.
