Indeed. It is just that I had some trouble with my MZ-6 and older flash... Fortunately no damage was done to either flash or camera... Yet, I realized I might warn Don about this issue. > As for JPEG softness; that's irrelevant.

I observed it myself. That is, comparing general sharpness I get from RAW files and what I had when I shot JPEG few times... Mind you, I did not do any "official" test or comparison - it is just my general opinion/feeling. I shot only RAW and I hope to stay that way :-)... But your notice is correct. DPReview seems to be biased though their reviews are extremely thorough otherwise. -- Boris
