Chris - Mate I see you're still stirring the pot! Good to hear from you. On this one we'll have to disagree, however. The R8/9 is simply put, the very best SLR/DSLR out there for my purposes. The ergonomics can't be touched by anything put out by C or N, let alone M cameras. Frankly one of the reasons I use Leica because it's NOT autofocus. Just like with the Ms I use my Rs because "I" have complete control.
Cheers,
In case anyone missed it, Doug's statement was tongue firmly planted in cheek with more than a hint of sarcasm...
