I disagree. The viewfinder in the MZ-3/5(n) is much better than the one in -/-10/-30/-50 (and quite possibly -60 too... :-) ). It's brighter with higher magnification and covers more of the scene. The MZ-3/5(n) can use the metering modes (multisegment, centreweighted and spotmetering) in all exposure modes. The spot-metering in the -6 is linked to the AE-L button, and centreweighted metering can't be manually selectable at all. Nah, the MZ-6 is an update of the -7. And it cost less than a new -5n - only very slightly more than the MZ-7 (time for a price drop on the MZ-7 now to get rid of it from the shelves?). I feel confident that an update of the -3/5(n) is on it's way. A stripped down MZ-S would perhaps be the most logical move. With just the MZ-6, it's a big gap between it and the MZ-S...
