Views ?I guess I could sell either and not make a loss after say a year, such is the saving .... now I have tried the R3 in my hands and it is awesome but big.  Great AF. The R8 I have held in a sealed bag as the dealer only had a brand new one and not one to demo,  Compared to my R5 to be fair the body felt tiny and actually great as a result as FF ... and the idea of  24-240 on it seemed good ...But what do I do.  I can afford the R3 at stretch but the R8 is more likely to get use ... or will it just make my R5 redundant ?   R3 is so capable and stacked sensor ... but not the mp of the R5 and I love to crop ... Comments welcome .... as I could also get an RF 28-70 f2 at great discount but not if I got the R3.  (I've had a 28-70 and loved it but traded it as not used too much)What to do to best expand my kit ... or do nothing as I actually have what I need ?</blockquote>
