Is this true - that the small bateries were the main thing governing the shutter/motordrive specs? I'm not trying to pick a fight - I honestly don't know enough about it. Is a faster shutter also larger? I assume a faster motor is going to be a bit larger - or is it really not that much with the advances in microelectronics? I'm just wondering how small the MZ-S could still have been if it had had, say, 1/8000 max. shutter, 4 FPS motordrive, and used maybe 2 CR123s or a 2CR5 or whatever.
