Félix at least you have TRIED both systems before you make sweeping trolling statements.
It's not as if the guy said
"Had to sell My R8's and rebuy Nikons because after months of use the camera
system just didn't work for me! Always got better results with the Nikons! That
was an expensive mistake!"
Noooooo! It's all "I love my Nikons THEY have AF!" THEY have little micromotors!"


Mark Rabiner
Show me somebody who sold his R8's after a fair shots and is now using Nikons or Canons.
I'm sure someone in the universe fits that description. And if they're on the
lug I'm not going to argue with them!
