 I'm taking this camera as a sign of things to come for a Z-1p successor.  I'm 
seriously impressed with it, although I must agree about the viewfinder.  
Reading the text, it looks like they shrunk the viewfinder to get the exposure 
information along the bottom.  I don't see mirror lockup mentioned.  I sure 
hope they put it in.

  I love the data imprinting though.  That's something I've been wanting.  
Come to think of it I'd actually like a feature where you could also imprint 
some custom text on the leader, such as your name and phone number (in 
case your film gets mixed up or lost at the lab).

 In general it appears to be a souped-up Z-1p with a few compromises to get 
it into a smaller body.  It's also very light IMO.  I am really looking forward to 
the flagship pro body, assuming it exists ;)

 So is it available in chrome? <g>
