Steve, Surprisingly, you will pay extra to not have that feature. I suspect that the cost to Pentax between the two backs has more to do with volume than the feature. Since all the other ZX bodies use the same back, it is cheaper to just supply the date back. When I have seen the ZX-5n without date back, it has always been more expensive than the date back version. Go figure...
