I like...
* The build quality, from the pre-plastic age.
* High Speed flash sync
* Easy of control and operation
* AF and winder
* Data imprinting
* The small size
* An option to couple the metering to the selected AF point
I dislike...
* Only 1/6000 shutter and 1/180 true flash sync
* Only 92% viewfinder
* The lack of HyperMode and HyperManual
So, I have some mixed feelings...
It's a great camera, but "HyperOperation" seems to mean nothing more than the control
system in the entry level MZ/ZX-10... with the difference that the MZ-S has an
exposure mode button instead of the mode dial on the MZ/ZX-10.
Default mode: programmed AE (normal, MTF, DOF or Action program line)
Shutter priority - when the user turns the main mode dial.
Aperture priority - when the user turns the aperture ring on the lens away from the
A-position.
Manual mode - when the user touches the exposure mode button so that the user can set
shutter speeds with the main control dial.
The "exposure mode" button seems to be simply an "automatic shutter on/off".
Perhaps the "Hold" button can hold exposure data between the modes, like the IF-button
does on the Z-1p.
But I doubt it...
Best regards,
