Wow, you have got to see this just posted video of Fro with the R8. I watched the first few minutes and was completely blown away by the auto focus demonstrated in real world contexts. Amazing!

Not a surprise because it has the R6Mii focusing system.

The kind of battery the R8 has to use is what sort of cripples it for professional (sports) work, considering the absence of IBIS can partially be mitigated by lenses with IS.

The R8 is meant to be an entry level camera and not one used by professionals.  Maybe for use as a backup camera at best.  I think he said he got around 1,100 shots from one battery and had half capacity showing on the meter when shooting the basketball game.  Battery life seemed to be not bad at all.
