This is really surprising (I guess they let the bean counters loose) and a real 
drawback. I sincerely hope that the viewfinder is better than on the MZ-5. 
Another drawback (although not really to me) is the 2,5 fps film wind. At least the 
battery back should have included a booster. I fear that this will restrict the 
cameras impact.
Interesting that they compare its durability and built to the LX. Also that the 
beancounters didn't manage to get rid of the metal body.
All in all, I don't thnk Pentax can charge too much for ths camera but it does indeed 
provide a natural upgrade path for the MZ-series users.
