No amount of playing in a camera store will tell you anything about a camera, any camera. The R8 is an advanced piece of hardware. Tough as nails, and extremely accurate. Big, yes, but it's worth it to get that wonderful viewfinder, smooth action, and feature set that only lacks (in some people's opinions) AF. And a motor. But that's temporary. :-) Should be out by the time the R10 arrives. >I have had several Nikons with MLU and never used it for long term exposure >stuff. Are Nikons ''better damped''?
