Perhaps I show my ingorance here . . . but why did they discontinue the R6.2? 
Is is not customary to have an "auto" camera, ;-), like the R8/9 and a more
basic manual body as well like the R6.2?  The R6.2 seemed to combine a good
balance of new (multiple meters - TTL flash) and classic (mechanical all
manual body and it wasn't as big as a tank like the R8/9).  Just wondering.
