MZ-S came in today. I can see why people love it. Reminds me of my Vertex VX-150 HT with that slanted control set. The grip feels better (to my hand) than the K-x, *istDS, or K100D that I've owned. At least that's my first impression. If I still shot 135 film I might be tempted to keep it ...

Still my favorite camera body. It was awesome with the grip. If that Phillips sensor had worked, they would have built the MZ-D as a single piece body just like the MZ-S with the grip. Full frame, 6MP, beautiful camera, and far too expensive to buy. The stuff that dreams are made of. On Wed,
