Well, the MZ-5/5n/3 has other strong points, like its
brilliant user interface, and metring system, as you
will see.
I am afraid that the MZ-3 AF system will be just
identical, but not really sure.
Regarding DSLRs, Carlos, my fellow Spanish PDMLer, has
just bought a Ds and, when I asked him for its AF
behaviour, he told me that it was better than the MZ-5
one, but not in pair with the MZ-S one. He currently
owns or previously owned these cameras.
Hope this helps,
Jaume
