Alf,

I have both the R8 and R6 (same as 6.2 except 1/1000 top shutter instead =
of 1/2000) and there are a few types of shots you can not do with the =
R6.  For example the R8 has a top shutter sync speed of 1/250 which is =
nice when lighting something and you want to be sure to kill all ambient =
light, or you are shooting in bright light and want a little flash fill. =
 Also the R8 has rear curtain sync, very nice on slow shutter speed =
flash shots.  Stops the action at the end of the exposure and gives a =
more natural looking blur on the unflashed parts of the shot.

But for general shooting the R6 works as well as the R8, unless you need =
more than 1/1000 or 1/2000 for 6.2 shutter speeds.  And believe it or =
not I have found the R6 meter to be more accurate than the R8, it is the =
most accurate in camera meter I have ever used, and you know how I feel =
about in camera meters!

It's no secret that I prefer mechanic Leicas for myself, but=20
I'm interested to learn: Are there any pictures the R8 can=20
take and the R 6.2 will not -  or is it a matter of individual=20
preference, like favoring a digital over a mechanic wrist watch ?
