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)

he got 1600 shots in the basketball game and still had 1/2 a battery -- the camera will be a fine backup

for long videos greater than an hour, it might be more of an issue

work, considering the absence of IBIS can partially be mitigated by lenses with IS.

sports above ss 1/200, IBIS ain't going to help -- well maybe in a bit in panning
