I quote from an interview published in a Japanese camera magazine: "If you think a camera’s control system is too complicated or troublesome for the first time you use it, you may start to dislike the camera and seldom use it afterward. Eventually you may stop enjoying photography altogether — even if the camera offers the finest performance and quality. That’s why we were particularly concerned about the MZ-S’s control system. Because of its unconventional styling, people may at first glance be a little hesitant to try it out. But once you lay your hands on this camera, you will be surprised by its outstanding feel and flawless operation. We wanted the MZ-S to be the camera that people take with them everywhere they go. If you still prefer a camera with either a digital or analog control system, that’s fine — because we believe our users deserve choice. Pentax offers all three types in its 35mm SLR lineup to meet every user’s preference. But, by incorporating the new hybrid control system and a host of sophisticated features into one of the most compact bodies available today — without any frills or gimmicks — we are confident that we have successfully developed a truly epoch-making camera, which points to the future of 35mm SLR photography. We hope all photographers — both advanced and beginners — will take the opportunity to experience the MZ-S firsthand, and see and feel the real difference" So now you know.
