For the shutter they just say "the high performance > shutter puts the emphasis on reliability and accuracy in real > situations" (which could also be read as "it performs bad in lab tests, > so we'll limit talk to "real situations" only"). No figures mentioned > like MTBF in shutter cycles. Just marketing talk (that also inspired > Paal with the "100% accurate metering" claim). I would rather say, that Canon is good in marketing talk. Pentax is well known for not providing detaled information about their products. Have you ever found in any information material about MZ-6 (ZX-L) information that it uses P-TTL with AF360FGZ, or that all Pentax AF lenses (since eightees) provide distance to subject information (something that has been present in Minolta and Nikon as "D" lenses since nineties)? There is still no information about even one cross shaped AF sensor in *ist, while there are nine of them. The text about shutter in MZ-S brochure doesn't say much, but when you combine it with Pal's and other's informations, there are no indications why MZ-S shouldn't have more reliable shutter.
