I'll tell you why I like Hyper Program. It's like using a manual exposure
camera, where one dials in the combination of aperture/shutter speed until
the meter reads close to midway/green light, etc., indicating the camera
thinks the exposure is correct. EXCEPT, that using lenses with the A
setting, the camera figures this out for you, saving you a step. You then
still have the creative options to move away from there, adjusting aperture
for DOF or adjusting shutter speed (like to blur moving water or stop
action).
After that's set, you can still 'micro-adjust' EV +/- as you see fit for the
lighting conditions.
Very convenient.

Thanks for all the replies. As there were quite a few more than I
expected, I'll not inundate the list with individual responses. Right
now I'm leaning a bit toward the Pz-1 or Pz-1p. (hyper program sounds
like lots of fun) However, KEH has a nifty MZ-5 in black and that
Z-5. So who knows? Anyway, I'll fill you in when I've bought
something.
Thanks again!
