Not true: Safox-7 supersedes previous versions in all respects. SM> For example, SM> can somebody explain in words of few syllables what "trap SM> focus" means, and how important it is? It's focus-priority release, only available with manual focus lenses. When one of the AF sensors confirms focus of a moving subject, it triggers the shutter.

No, these are available by default. At least in my experience, predictive AF works even in "trap focus" mode, with manual focus lenses. SM> What other features exist, and how important?

You'll probably have to think MZ-S centric. It's AF is the only true modern AF Pentax has, and likely the only one to allow focusing after framing.
