I can only compare the MZ-3 to the ZX5n which except for the higher
top shutter speed on the former were pretty much identical. I
noticed no difference in operation. AFAIK the only difference
between the MZ/ZX5 and the 5n version was the addition of a DOF preview.
The 5n had the panorama switch, too. Did the ZX5?
Wouldn't know, but the only thing the Panorama switch was good for was
to give the camera something else to break.

Just found a MZ-3 offer at acceptable price, and I like the idea of
keeping a film body around for moments when risk of theft of the KR
is high - currently a job done by an EOS 500n.
The MZ-3 looks the MZ-5 with DOF preview and a higher top shutter
and X sync speeds. I'm betting the overall feel and almost all of
the results will be pretty much the same, but since they came some
time apart, maybe they present some other diffs. Maybe faster AF, or
shorter shutter lag - I understand they have diff shutters.
So, any hands-on experience on both cameras? Second to that, is
there any source of info on shutter lag for the MZ-3 and MZ-5? Any
comments on the MZ-3? Boz's site shows it to be slightly diff from
the MZ-5 in form of grip, so maybe it's significantly better than
the MZ-5 - I did have one MZ-5 for a time so I'm using it as reference.
TIA,
