It seems big to me only because I use an M6. But it would take me all of 10 minutes to get used to it. I think the R8 has just the right amount of technology for a modern SLR. It's designers must have really used a "form follows function" thought process when making decisions. In fact, some of the design decisions seem to have been left to the consumer, i.e., wind/rewind manually or with motor, you choose!! I look forward to owning one. Arturo
