Just goes to show different folks have different tastes. I have both an R8 (at work) and a 10D (personal). I find the 10D handles far better in every way than the R8. The grip for the 10D, especially, fits my hands very well indeed. And yes, Canon's L glass is heavy, but Leica R glass is hardly featherweight! Anyway, I am quite happy with the 10D in every respect for my digital work.
