I agree. > I didn't like the side mounted flash due to location of shadows on the > sides of heads. I've never used it, but I imagine the shadows would be softened or nonexistent if you bounce the side flash off the ceiling and use the RTF for some direct fill. As a straight-on flash, the side one is probably better at red-eye reduction, but must suck if there's a wall behind the subject, as you point out. > Never had a power zoom lens to see if I would really like/use that > feature. The other two effects were zoom effect (zoom blur... can we say "dated gimmick"?) and image size tracking, which automatically zoomed the lens to keep the subject a constant size. > I have to say that I think the single biggest feature of the PZ-1p > over the MZ-S is price.

That's why I asked the question. Ah, I thought you just wanted the info. I've never owned a Z-1p and have only used one a couple of times. Not really my style of camera. chris - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
