They seem to be getting a lot of interest in it. I was looking at it
this morning - and told them you would probably be dropping in. I
liked it.
This is a camera that feels solid. It feels like the cameras of
yesteryear - the MX's and LX's that so many of us love so much.
The grip is about as small as I would want for my hands, any smaller
and I don't think I would be able to use it comfortably.
As there have been many comments about changing focusing sensors I
though i would see how that felt. I found that I could change the focus
area quite easily though it would probably take some getting used to.
What I did find was that my fingernail (which is not too long but
getting to the point where I would normally cut them) went between the
switch and the case and sort of got in the way. With short fingernails
I would have no problems reaching it and changing sensors while looking
through the viewfinder.
I wear glasses and found that I could easily see all the viewfinder and
the information displays.
If it wasn't for the fact that I already have a Z1p I could be very
temped. It is a very nice small and smooth camera and should sell well
- even priced at AU$1999 (the Nikon F100 is priced at AU$3500).
