Last time I checked, the German made R8's have spot metering and
autobracketing.

Did they change this with the Portuguese R8's ? ;)

And the last time I tried autofocus on a bird jumping around in the bushes,
I got sharp pictures of bushes and a blurry bird. The human AF computer is
still better than the camera AF computer.
