Having both the MZ-5n and the MZ-S (lucky me), I feel I can say a little about their respective interfaces. The 5n is very nice to use, but the S is even easier, with the added flexibility of being able to manually select half-stop speeds (1/180, 1/350, etc.) all the way to 30 seconds (10 seconds, 20 seconds, etc.). The 5n doesn't allow you to manually select any speed longer than 2 seconds, which is an inconvenience at times.
In addition, having six AF sensors rather than three, and the ability to select them individually, is also a big help. An MZ-5n with MZ-S interface would make more sense, for those who don't want to spend the money for an actual MZ-S. I must admit, though, I like the exclusivity of having the real thing.
