I'm the one who's MZ-S fell two metres onto a concrete floor and was unscathed! I reckon it's pretty tough. It's also been knocked against walls and doors a couple of times with no damage. <SNIP> > The other point is the lack of in- body flash exposure compensation, > which means no compensation for the built- in flash.

I haven't formally tested exposure compensation, but I have had many spot-on exposures where I used the built-in flash as a fill-in, simply by setting the shutter speed to lower than the formal sync speed and letting the aperture fall where it will. >This is how my Olympus OM3 Ti works, and would be fine for me. > Or, if not, does the built-in flash provide some sort of automatic > fill-in in one of the modes, and if so is if effective? See above, and there are no "modes" on the MZ-S other than program. >Also is there any way of setting the built in flash to second curtain sync?
