The R8 is the first R camera to rewind film. > Ergonomics and flash sync speed of 1/250 aside, is this the other reason why > one should 'defect' to the R8 ? Built-in flash, mirror lockup and the way it works, built-in flash meter, matrix metering, better TTL flash, brighter viewfinder, LED readout, dediated batteries for the motor and winder. Lots of other reasons I'm not thinking of. - -- Eric Welch Carlsbad, CA http://www.neteze.com/ewelch Zen master to hotdog vendor. "Make me one with everything."
