What flaw?  Never moved once for me unless I moved it on purpose.

Best camera I have ever used ergonomically and ease of use/quality, and I 
used Nikon FtN, Pentax Spotmatic II, Canon AE1, Rollei SL-35, Canon 10D, 
Canon Rebel XTi.

In the tight space of my kayak's cockpit the R8's mode dial has been bumped
to an unwanted mode (or to 'off') on more than one occasion, causing an
uncharacteristic desire to pitch the thing into the lake.  In my more
rational moments the only ergonomic or performance improvement I can think
of is an SL's viewfinder.
