Conversely, how many users are they willing to alienate by
producing clones of cameras that people don't want, due to the
overcomplexity of the interface.
I stayed away from the PZ cameras because I felt the interface
to be a confusing mess. I got the MZ-5 because I felt they had
found their path again, with a clean easy to understand
interface.
Cameras don't need 24 buttons and 2 or 3 dials to operate them.
There really are only 3 things that need to be controlled on a
camera.
Count them for yourself, you'll see I speak the truth.
