In my experience the R4s is reliable but the R4sP's idiot-proofed controls make it more useful to me. The Leicaflex SL is reliable, an excellent user and my favorite Leica reflex but repair costs can be high, some R-lenses can't be used on it and it doesn't have several features people take for granted on newer cameras. I have no long-term experience with other R-bodies. Doug Herr Sacramento
