Hi Vic I would love to love the MZ-S as well. I can't afford the MZ-S as well as the *ist D - so I'll have to choose! Today I spend a lot of effort finding companies who can scan my negs well -and without making prints, that I dont need. I found af company who makes tiff scans (16 MB images) for app. 20$ for each film. That's good quality, but quite exspensive. Most of my work is done for the computer or for printing in books or publications - so I need my photographs to be digital. But I don't want to invest in a lot of new lenses in addition to a digital body. And I still think film makes better images/better resoulution and storage of the originals seems safer. On the other hand I already own 5 nice Pentax bodies for 35mm film... Regards Jens

We all like to have nice little toys but in the end it's the person playing with the toys that make them work. To answer your question. Right now I would take an MZ-S over the *istD any day. I think the istD is great for the few people who really need them. I work at a daily paper and our photogs certainly need digital cameras. I don't. I can wait an hour for my film, even a week for my slides. That's not to say I will never want the *istD. Some day 10 years down the road I may even own one...
