I don't think I'll ever move to a digital area. It's something completely different
and
uncomparable to the "traditional" photography and I'm quite a traditionalist.
I absolutely agree with the statement, that Pentax has the great quality of their
products. As I posted, I find the Pentax lenses to be far superior to those of Minolta
and Canon (personally I think that Nikon lenses are very good too). But what's wrong
about the demand for features? Is autobracketing so difficult to implement? I don't
believe it would significantly increase the price. As for the spot metering, mind that
I'd like to be able to get reading from the area narrower than the whole viewfinder
scene. Even that 9% is better than nothing. MZ-7 is destined for the non-profs (mind
its program features). Personally I think those people would far better benefit from
the autobracketing or DOF preview or spot (even 9%) metering than from the
multiexposure.
And I disagree (sorry:() with the statement that MZ-7 has the fastest AF in its class.
I was able to compare it with F60 and EOS 300 and found out that EOS has the fastest
and most quiet. F60's AF is pretty much like that in MZ-7.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining (well, not that much anyway:)) I have chosen
Pentax exactly because of it's overall great quality and excellent lenses. I like my
MZ-
7, find its matrix metering to be very accurate and so on. I'd only welcome
more ...hmmm... flexible Pentax' approach to the amateur segment of the market. If the
demand for features is so bad, then why do you use those features? How about a pinhole
camera?:)
I really didn't want to offend any of You. Sorry if I did.
