My opinion FWIW.

Aperture selection is a lens function, so I expect to find its user
interface on the lens.  Shutter speed selection is a camera body function
(in the case of a focal plane shutter), so I expect to find its user
interface on the camera body.  In the same manner I expect to find the
controls for a (non RTF) flash unit ~on~ the flash unit.

When manufacturers follow these basic philosophies their products become
more intuitive.  I cannot speak for either Z1p or MZ-S (not owning or using
either) but my bane is manufacturers who use combined button pressing
routines to get a lot of functions out of a few buttons, to reduce costs.
To me, that is the epitome of non-intuitiveness.

Anthony Farr
