The R6.2 is a wonderful camera - much smaller and lighter than the R8. It handles more like an M than the R8. I'm not sure about the difference between the R6 and 6.2, but the 6.2 is still in production. If I need a really wide angle or macro and I will be carrying the camera for any distance, I take the R6.2. I prefer the R8 when I need to use flash, though.
