Looking at buying the R8 wanting to see how the autofocus is while shooting in the high frame rate mode. The main question is does it have autofocus at all in the 120fps and 180fps and jd it does how has it preformed

The original question was NOT "where do I find information that addresses slow motion?", it was something like "does the camera offer autofocus in high frame rate modes?"
While yes, when answering a user's question, it is GOOD good to include information about where users can find a more in-depth answer, etc, YOUR "answer" did NOT answer the question.
Instead you basically SCOLD people for asking the question in the first place.
That is NOT helpful and only pushes people AWAY from this community after they start to see that they will be SCOLDED for asking a question.
I agree with you that it is frustrating to have to answer a question that seems like it should be easy for a user to find. And If that's the case with you, and you can't help yourself from SCOLDING people for asking a given question, THEN DON'T ANSWER AT ALL.

Stephen I understand what you are saying - but my experience with Wadizzle, both in answering me as well as answering other folks, is it's a sort of "how can you ask such a stupid question" theme with him.
I would urge you to look back at some sampling of his "answers", and see if you get the feeling that he actually wants to help a user, or if he just wants to "scold" them for asking the question.
I understand that community members are taking time out of their own day to help, and yes that's commendable, but no one wants that "time spent" to result in pushing people AWAY from teh community.
Maybe I'm way off base here and I apologize if that's the case.
