Do you mean that the MZ-S has a longer time lag than the PZ-1p? Time
lag has been a dreadful bug of all-electronic cameras for years. I
remember tests carried out in the late eighties on time lags in
various cameras (in AF bodies it was measured with autofocus switched
off). The results were terribly dissapointing with regard to "state-
of-the-art" bodies. As far as I remember the time lags in some
cameras were as follows:
Leica M6: 8 miliseconds
Nikon FM2: 20 milisecond
Pentax LX: 40 miliseconds
Canon T90: 200 miliseconds
AF cameras were somwhere in the T90 league and that has not changed
much. I remember that with most AF cameras if you were shooting under
dim light - which still allowed AF to operate but with some hunting -
the total time between your finger's pressure on the shutter release
button to meter and focus and the shutter opening was something in
the range of two seconds!
