Unfortunately it does. However, is the manual to be trusted? :-)

Pentax's data sheets/brochures say that the RTF only syncs up to
1/180 sec. I believe that in order to get flash sync to 1/6000
sec we have to buy a brand new flash designed specifically for
the MZ-S

The MZ-S is competitively priced for what it offers.
But maybe this is not the most needed features for commons users. That is
why it is perceived as expensive

lesson or two from the competition.

1. Much quieter AF. (It was also faster and more accurate compared to the
prototype MZS I tried - but that may have been the fault of the
pre-production model)

. If anything, the MZ-S is cheap while the
F100 is expensive on a cost to feature basis. Whats more, the MZ-S and the F100 is
bult likewise of the same materials.

I now own both the PZ1 and MZ-S. I love the both. And will continue to
use
both, but then I also use my Super A. It just depends on how I feel and
