No, definitely not. I consider the LX a step forward from my MZ-30. I love everything about it. But if you're the type of person who likes auto-everything, it's not really the camera for you. It really depends what you want. The MZ-30 was far too automated for me, but that is just my opinion. Heaps of people like a camera that is fully automated. I, on the other hand, like to know that I created a beautiful photo because of the settings I chose. With my LX, I can. But you are probably getting a very biased view from this list. LX'es are extremely popular here. Hey, you are talking to someone who was converted solely by this list, having never heard of the LX before. Now I own one, and am absolutely thrilled by it. There is such a difference in the photos I am taking. Jody. Find a job, post your resume. http://careers.yahoo.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
