Are there any other DSLRs with mirror lockup?
Canons all have it, accessed via annoying menu.
Depends how you use it. I have it set so that it is activated with a
press of 2 buttons together on the top plate.
That's 1-series only. the lower-end bodies only offer the menu, but
still have a useless QuickPrint button on them.
WIth my 10D, I set a custom function to produce "mirror up on first
press, exposure on second press" when using mirror lock up. It's just
as much effort to turn on the 2-second self timer on the Pentax DS, and
no trouble at all.
I don't see a "QuickPrint" button on it anywhere, nor have I ever used
one on any of my cameras. I bet, though, that if I had a small portable
printer, it might come in handy now and then.

The Quickprint is only on the current bodies, not older ones like the
20D and 10D. But the 5D, 30D and XT all have them. Consensus seems to be
that it should be an assignable button, with QuickPrint as the default
for the Japanese market.
