This reviewer must be a certified idiot. On thing is not understanding the purpose of the MZ-S, which in my opinion is not understanding the concept of Pentax, another thing is not understanding the point with the G1. Even if I don't care about rangefinders, the G1is essence of Contax. The recipe that made Contax famous. And Contaxes were never cheap. > It is not surprising to hear MZ-S owners proclaim its lack of features > as a desirable feature in itself, because they never could figure out > how to successfully and easily access the useful features of a > previous camera. Which is total nonsense. The MZ-S is the most featured Pentax camera ever with a considerable margin. The fact that some people insist that it has less features than the Z-1p doesn't make it true. It has traded slightly lower max shutter speed and FPS rate for smaller size something thats always been well received in the Pentax community. And don't get me that argument of flash synch; the MZ-S synch at 1/6000s for those who bothers to use the flashes designed for it. P�l - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
