The 3D primarily has to do with the distance from the camera to the subject for flash metering. While distance information has been available from Pentax lenses, it wasn't used for exposure calculation until some of the newer cameras came out. I don't think that there is any difference in the percentage of properly exposed, ambient light shots of either system, but the Nikon flash is better. (Based on years with a ZX-5 and F100)

Is it the same matrix metering system as on the MZ-5n? At least the symbol is the same and I'm very satisfied with the MZ-5n's metering performance. BTW - can anybody tell me what is so special about Nikon's "3D" matrix metering? Is there really a notable difference to Pentax's system?
