I definitely hope so...:) > If this comes to pass, I made up a > list of features that I think would be appropriate (and desirable) > enhancements to an already great camera. Here goes: > 1. Deletion of the useless Panoramic function. I can live w/o that panorama mode, but it's not totally useless. I happened to shoot several pics in this mode and also found it to be of some help when composing some scenes... > 2. AF system from MZ-S Absolutely yes. Recently, when being at the seaside, I tried to shoot flying seagulls and the AF of my MZ-5n didn't performed perfectly. I haven't seen the pics yet, so I can't tell if they are in focus, but the AF tended to hunt or mispredict the bird's movement... > 4. P-TTL with synch at 1/125 + HSS Definitely. In fact, as the MZ-6 has it, the MZ-5n/3 succesor(s) will have it for sure:) Perhaps with synch at 1/180?:) > 5. Mirror lock-up or pre-fire. That would be great but I doubt we'll get it - the MLU wold make the MZ-5n/3 successor too highly specificated, I think... > 6. Film leader out function Ah, yes:) Plus MRC! > 8. Grip - make it a bit larger. I'd rather prefer the new camera to be compatible with the battery pack FG - it makes my MZ-5n big enough for my hands (w/o the pack it's too small for me:))) > 10. Max shutter speed of 1/4000 That's for sure, I think... > Best regards, > Albert Greetz Artur -- Okresl Swoje potrzeby - my znajdziemy oferte za Ciebie!
