Hallo Robert, I think the price for the MZ-S is not to high, if you compare it to the F100. It has also a metal body and something, that the F100 not has. It has data inprinting, leaving the film end out, an internal flash and MLU and it if far smaller. Last year I was on a safari with a friend who had a F100. I was glad that I bought a MZ-S, because of the above features. The fill-in flash was good to use. Not to say, that the F100 is a bad camera, but I liked my Pentax more. regards Rüdiger
