> 1. A 98% or 100% viewfinder with good "snap" for easy manual focusing
I really wanted #1 (or part of) for the MZ-S, but I was told that to get 100% it was expensive, like doubling the cost. I can see why Pentax didn't bother with it given their market. Too bad. Not sure what you mean by snap with manual focus. > 7.

My worry is everyone is so pumped about a Pentax DSLR, and it won't be want they expected after all this time, or not quite good enough, or too good (making it too expensive) I also wanted one 'cheap' addition, dropping the finder cap and putting in a switch you can toggle to block the viewfinder. I didn't get that either. But, all in all, I'm very happy with my camera and the rest of my gear. > > --Mike > >
