Luckily, I'm typically shooting in bright overcast or daylight, so it's not usually a problem to get at least 1/250 shutter speed, or faster. Which is good, as 1/250 or 1/500 is the "sweet spot" for my application. > The MZ-S has WAY less vibration than the ME Super (I > have one). I haven't done any systematic tests, but I this sure seems true to me, at least compared to my K-1000, LX, and ZX-5. Also, the MZ-S seems to spread the action out over more time than the other three cameras. It audibly progresses through a couple of different phases. The LX does this also, but the entire process happens over a shorter time, while the K-1000 and ZX-5 just seem to be "crash thump" all at once. TTYL, DougF KG4LMZ
