too many buttons? most critics say just the opposite! Apart from focus point select it is hard to see how it could have less, unless you drop exposure compensation and bracketing. You could always tape over the exp comp dial and you would be left with AF/MF, shutter speed, Drive mode and meter type - oh and DOF. How is this too many?
Fair enough you didnt like it, but it doesnt really have much more than MZ-3 to look at (everything extra is hidden except mult exposure mode perhaps...). > -----Original Message----- > From: William Robb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 06 December 2001 16:27 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Pentax > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Rob Brigham" > Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2001 9:52 AM > Subject: RE: Pentax > > > > What features in particular would you like to lose from the > MZ-S, and > > why? > > > > Presumably what you mean is 'the build of MZ-S but for less > money'? > > I spent about an hour looking at an MZ-S, and came away less > than impressed in may respects.
