Well, they aren't actually charging any more for the date back, if it's the money you're concerned about. If it isn't the money, just don't put a battery in the date back. It uses a separate battery. I think having the ability to put the date on a picture is valuable when you are shooting things for the family album. It's nice to know exactly when family pictures were taken. The date function can be turned off when you don't want to use it. As an alternative, if you just can't live with the shame of owning a camera with a date back, just order a plain back from Pentax, it's not expensive, and change it yourself. it's easy.

Sorry, one more question for ZX 5N owners. I would prefer to buy this camera without the date back, but it seems that every dealer in the US sells it with the date back? Has anyone found a place to buy one without the date back? Thanks for your help! - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
