This is true of course. At 0.8 magnification (in case of MZ-3 at
least). But, don't forget that other camera makers offer even less:
most Canons up to EOS 33 manage only 90% at 0.7 to 0.75
magnification, Nikon F80 has 92% coverage at 0.75 and even new
(semipro?) Dynax 7 has only 90/93% at 0.8.
So, Pentax MZ series is still doing better that the competition. But
don't get me wrong: I'm not saying that MZ viewfinder is great. I
only say that others suck even more. Whenever I pick ME Super instead
of MZ-3 it is evident how bigger viewfinder image of ME Super is.
Therefore, I hope that Paal is right about better viewfinder in MZ-S.
