I feel a counter-opinion is required :) Actually, I appreciate the date back on the MZ-S. I use it rarely, however it is quite handy at times. Since my work involves lots of travelling, and since I always bring a camera along, I usually use the date-function to keep track on where I was when: taking the first shot(s) of the day of easilly recognizeable landmark and imprinting the date makes organizing slides so much easier. Similarly for recalling memories when viewing the slides years later :)
I don't use the date stuff much, but it is definitely something I'd not like to be without. If I had the choise, I would still pick the MZ-S with date back. --thomas On Tue, 25 Mar 2003 17:35:08 -0500 "Kenneth Waller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I had no choice when I picked up my MZ-S, AFAIK there is no other > back for that camera.
