The 3D primarily has to do with the distance from the camera to the
subject for flash metering. While distance information has been
available from Pentax lenses, it wasn't used for exposure calculation
until some of the newer cameras came out. I don't think that there is
any difference in the percentage of properly exposed, ambient light
shots of either system, but the Nikon flash is better. (Based on years
with a ZX-5 and F100)

Is it the same matrix metering system as on the MZ-5n? At least the
symbol is the same and I'm very satisfied with the MZ-5n's metering
performance. BTW - can anybody tell me what is so special about Nikon's
"3D" matrix metering? Is there really a notable difference to Pentax's
system?
