Re: Pentax ZX-5n AF performance...... I would like to hear some more on this
matter too! (On the various AF capabilities and comparisons of both the
PZ1[p] and
ZX-5n. Forget the MZ-S; at its projected price that's just not realistic for
me at all...)
I don't understand what you're saying here Ed, about the ZX-5n. Isn't
locking on a subject and staying focused with it exactly what is supposed to
happen in the Spot Focus mode?
And what happens then when you switch over to the Six Segment AF mode?
And what do you mean by "no continuous focus mode"? Doesn't this camera have
something called Predictive AF, which is supposed to be one step ahead of a
moving object[s] in order to keep in focus??
Can you please explain more? Are you using all of the AF modes, or maybe
just sticking with one?
Or does this camera simply not really do what's claimed for it?
(Seriously considering buying one myself... A new ZX-5n goes for $280USD
right now. And a new MZ-S, hey for $800-900USD?? Not in my budget, friends.
Not even close!)
Plus, if you look at the Pentax AF codes, the PZ1[p] uses something called
Safox 1, while the ZX-5n uses Safox IV. Are you saying Pentax's AF systems
have gotten worse as they've updated them???
