I'm no Sal, Ted or Tina, but I've been using Rs for a few years now and
they've more than paid for themselves. The Ms haven't quite yet, but
they're excused. Now that I'm used to deciding all of the settings, I
wouldn't want to switch to an auto everything system. I find using the
F5 for sports action to be productive but unsatisfying. It might be
different if my cameras were paying for the groceries rather than just
more cameras.
