It IS good looking..if your idea of good looking is SMALL. Guess what? Lots of CONSUMERS (you know, the people with disposable income, not the curmudgeons who hang about on mailing lists and scruntize ebay for things spelt pentex) have a real fetish about SMALL things.. Meaning something that's positivly tiny, like the Optio-S, is a good thing.. And a tiny DSLR? No different than the Optio-S. You aren't quite grasping that the whole point of the ist F and D is that they're TINY compared to their brethren. It may not be sexy to you, its not sexy to me, either. Hell, my 645 is sexy to me cause it looks high tech and intimidatingly big. Your MZ-S is sexy to you because it looks timeless and high tech. Everyone likes different things, and the mass market obviously must like those Canon Rebel bodies because they sure do sell, and Canon keeps making more of the same. -- http://www.infotainment.org <-> more fun than a poke in your eye. http://www.eighteenpercent.com <-> photography and portfolio.
