Nick,
Appreciate your comments.
The shutter release problem with the BG-10 is a
surprising design blunder. If I do finally order the
MZ-S, I'll include the grip for purposes of extendeng
the available power.
The IR would be nice, but is it true that it only
works from the front of the camera? When I read that
their was an IR sensor, my hope was that it would be a
handy vibration free release to replace the cable
switch. Front only?
