I dunno, it is certainly less complicated than the Canon, Minolta and Nikon offerings. I liked the little button for invoking the AF. My background and interest in photography is photographing pretty static subjects....landscapes for fun, studio portraiture and product for profit. Consequently, even autofocus is pretty much overkill for me. I really don't recall exactly what it was that I didn't like, I recall posting at one point that I didn't like the user interface. It is a very nice camera though. If Pentax doesn't release something more like the numbered MZ series with build like the MZ-S, I can see myself buying an MZ-S at some point. I think I want a medium format film scanner first though. William Robb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
