Actually the review was pretty favourable for the MZ-S. They praised the
slanted top plate, well-thought controls set-up, magnesium housing, built-in
flash, data impinting and "the ability to take virtually any Pentax K
bayonet lens". They also noticed, that the camera is the cheapest of the
three...
The two other rivals - F100 and EOS 3 are IMHO tough ones and the latter won
the whole test. However, "the margin of the victory is slight, since all
three models have their good points".
The Practical Photography is one of few magazines that notice Pentax
products and show their strengths. Its editor, Will Cheung, constantly uses
two cameras - EOS 3 and Pentax 645NII.
