Look, you're going to have to make up your mind as to what is fair and what isn't. The Z1P is even older than the ZX-5, but it's fair to compare it [Z1P] with the N80, while it isn't fair to compare with the ZX-5 because the ZX-5 is too old. Huh??? Maybe sticking to price class would make more sense. One of the big problems in comparing one camera to another is that most folks are familiar with only one of the cameras they are comparing. They may not be as familiar with the other camera, and not know how to best configure it for a particular shot. Having to do a focus and recompose, because the AF sensor selection implementation is too clumsy to use quickly is a joke. Trying to do "focus and recompose" on a moving subject is like doing brain surgery by going up someone's rectum.
From: Sylwester Pietrzyk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Well, this comparison is unfair. ZX-5 is much older camera than N80. And these two Pentax lenses are much slower (especially powerzoom, which isn't even IF) than Nikkor 28-105 (4-5.6 compared to 3.5-4.5), and believe me - speed of lens greatly affects AF performance, especially in low light. When I was using Tokina ATX-Pro II 28-70/2.6-2.8 with Z1P, than AF was almost instant... - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
