There are two problems with the MZ-S:
1) Its small. Small cameras from other manufacturers are cheap. Hence the MZ-S should
be too.
2) It has only 2,5 max fps and 1/180s synch speed. Cameras from other manufacturers
camera with such data is cheap. Hence the MZ-S should be too.
I still like that Nikon MZ-S. The F100 alternative that trades fps for small size.
Instead it offers mirror lock (Gosh! finally in a Nikon below the F5); cool
dataimprinting between the frames (gosh); Mid roll rewind with memory (another gosh);
One more focus point than the F100 (yet another Gosh); a smooter and faster interface
than on any previous Nikon; built in flash wisch is great for saving weight (no need
for separate flash for eg. fill flash) and the list goes on. I'm certain any Nikon
sales person would be happy with this camera.
Thank goodness its a Pentax.
