I don't agree. Dynax 7 is a very different camera, built with a very different philosophy. > It has weaknessess but it also has several strong > advantages over the MZ-S Agreed. Still, for me, the advantages of the MZ-S are more important than those of the Dynax 7 (that's why I bought the latter :-) > and it's significantly cheaper than the latter... That's the biggest advantage (especially in Poland where the MZ-S is outrageously expensive). Disclaimer - I'm not saying the Dynax 7 is a bad camera. I'm saying that I prefer the MZ-S.
