Well said, Robert!

The feature I like most is the exposure compensation dial.  This is the
only SLR camera I have used, that allow me to dial in exposure
compensation without leaving the viewfinder.  Try that with the RE, R6
and R7, and you'll know what I meant.

The R8 must be the most underrated SLR of the Leica range :-))
