The fellow I work with has an F5 and I got curious Friday = and compared the two and if there was a difference in the thickness on = the right hand side the R8 was thinner by a very small margin. So why = does everyone keep saying the blasted thing is so much thicker than the = F5????? The main difference was that where the F5 grip drops straight back into = the body the R8's grip slopes back in to the body. I don't see how this = matters, but then again I just use the right hand to steady the camera = and do most of the weight support with the left hand. As long as there = is enough to hold onto on the right side I am happy. This is not a big deal, IMHO, but each person buys a camera for his/her = own reasons. My advice is to quit looking at the camera and start shooting with it. = It is rather hard to get a decent photo if all you are doing is sitting = around mooning over how pretty (or ugly depending on your tastes) your = new toy is.
