IIRC the MZ-5 does not have the exposure lock button, which I find very useful (specially when spot metering). The MZ-M does have this button, though.

The MZ-5 has the metering selector around the exposure compensation dial and the drive mode selector colocated with the on/off switch around the shutter release. The MZ-5n moves the metering selector switch to the shutter speed dial, and the drive mode selector moves to the exposure compensation dial. The on/off stays were it was. A much better layout IMHO. -Adam Glen Tortorella wrote: > Thanks very much, Adam... > > This is good news, as I like the FG pack.
