I was thinking this so now I might as well say it: Shel, I think you might find the ZX-5N spotmeter capability to be extremely useful. I use it far more than autofocus, autobracketing and all the other whiz-bang modern features. I find it indispensable for checking tonal ranges in my compositions and setting my exposure. This might make for an interesting thread. Features I use the most in descending order: used a lot: spotmeter mirror lock-up ttl flash less often: double exposure auto exposure lock much less often: autofocus multisegment autoexposure exposure compensation hardly ever: autobracketing Tv mode not at all: program mode I'm interested in how others rate their cameras features.
