Ok, the EOS-1v does 3-10fps, the Nikon F5 7.3 fps and the Leica 4.5fps. Is the lack of 10fps really a deal breaker? In my opinion I would be more worried about the R8/9s lack of advanced environmental sealing, against moisture and dust. I believe that is a far bigger problem, considering that this is an electronic camera and not an SL or Nikon F. Does anyone have any experience with these cameras in such conditions? > This doesn't mean that the Rs aren't the perfect cameras for people who > don't want the features the Rs "lack."
