Hi, Joe. Every system has its pros and cons. It's impossible to declare one of them as the best system overall. It's like declaring a certain camera to be the best camera in the world - it would be stupid, because no camera in the world can fulfill absolutely everyone's needs. Every photographer has his/hers own idea of "best camera". I said that the Mamiya's implementation of mirror lock-up was better that EOS 1N's, but I said it only from my point of view. Somebody else could like 1N's implementation more than Mamiya's. It's a very good thing that there are so many different cameras of so many different designs, so that every photographer can choose exactly the one he/she likes.
