One thing to consider might be lens compatibility. On the ZX-5n you can use all your
Pentax lens, even the old screw mounts with an appropriate adapter and still be able
to utilize most of your camera's functionality. You lose the program mode and shutter
priority but still retain aperture priority and manual (with stop down metering on the
old M42 lens). With some of the newer Nikons, compatibility with older Nikkor lenses
is lost, though I am not sure which ones. So, if you still have any of your old
Spotmatic lenses, you can still make use of them on the Pentax system.
