I have been watching this thread and have elected not to comment to date
but this one got me, I suspect that the sentence above should read:
"Second, sometimes, I do express what average people wish but only
because of what they read in the bull sh*t advertising dumped on us by non-
photographic marketing types who would not understand a great feature set if
it were staring them in the face"
The fact is that many mainstream journalistic photographers seem to use fill
flash religiously whether it adds to the image or not so high speed sync has
become a "need". Most amateur photographers don't shoot high speed
sports (and those that do should buy equipment suitable for the purpose) so
an average frame advance rate of 2.5fps is really 99% of the time completely
adequate. I myself am looking for a compact, robust camera with a good
utilitarian feature set AKA MZ-S.
Just check the open PUG galleries to see the spread of subjects covered by
Pentax listers, I would assume (from the comments that I read) that most of
were shot using exposure parameters well within the scope of the MZ-S
capabilities. Wherein lies the problems then?
