1. Jeez,... look at the details of the green part.

That is onset electron microscope stuff. Very steady camera.

5. Fascinating and with incredible detail. But I am puzzled: Is the black spot with the blotch inside it the red mite?

13. Just found this review for your R8 on B&H --

"One of the best cameras I have ever owned. The focusing is unbelievable whether it by kids in action, or my pets. The image quality is stunning - rich beautiful natural colors and incredible high ISO and super dynamic range. The camera feels incredible in hand, the menu system is very easy to navigate, the viewfinder is large and comfortable, and flip screen is very detailed, bright and color accurate."

Looks like you got yourself a winner Mousetoescamper!

14. I'm happy with the camera, but it has a few "cons" along with its many "pros"

-Short battery life and an unreliable battery meter. I bought two extra batteries and always carry a fully-charged spare when out shooting.

-The camera sometimes gets overheated on hot days or when it's in direct sunlight. Overheating is a common problem with mirrorless cameras. The camera has never automatically shut down during overheating and when the meter approaches the red zone I turn off the camera for a few minutes before resuming shooting.

-The RF series lenses are a little pricey. I have an adapter that allows me to use my old Canon EF lenses and any used EF lenses I buy. The 35mm I used for this photo is the only RF lens I own.

15. Yep, good and not so good. Tamron makes real good 3rd party lenses. I used to own one.
