The MZ-S was designd to be easier in use than the Z-1p. Can you tell me which of the dial of the Z-1p sets aperture and which shutterspeed without consulting the manual or trying out on the camera? I'm not talking about someone who is familiar with the camera but someone seeing it for the first time. Can you tell me which way to turn which dial for getting overexposure without consulting the camera or the manual? Can you tell me which way to turn which dial for getting overexposure when using exposure compensation? Did you realize its oposite way than getting overexposure via manual mode?

Do anyone have problems locating the self-timer on the MZ-S? I'm sorry for these rethorical questions. snip... I must agree with Paal here. I had a PZ-1p, which was used as trading material for my MZ-S. The MZ-S is MUCH more intuitive to use than a PZ- 1p ever thought about being. And why the big deal about have to use the aperture ring to change the aperture? After all, it's called aperture PRIORITY, which, to my feeble mind means prioritizing the aperture you want to use, and why do some find it so difficult to turn the aperture ring with the left hand while looking through the viewfinder?
