(Y'know, I like my ZX-M for what it does now. But I've been considering
getting an AF camera, and hearing all this stuff (from Pentax fans, no
less!) about how poor the Pentax AF systems are, I'm beginning to wonder if
I haven't made a mistake buying into this Pentax stuff instead of maybe
going with another, better operating, system??? (Where maybe I won't have
to spend close to $1000 (for an MZS) just to get a camera with a good AF
system... Hell, if I wanted need to spend that kind of money, why not go for
an F-100 and be done with it!?)
Pentax (like all brands) designs the camera to do what they think the
customer wants. The ZX-5n is not really designed for multiple shot/rapid
movement subjects. If can work OK but for that I found my PZ-1 to be much
better.
And since I don't think any AF system is really all that good I don't let it
bother me. If I really want something to be in focus I use a MF lens on a MF
body since ALL AF systems are only marginally accurate.
