What's all this about a "flagship" camera? Isn't the MZ-S the flagship of the line? It's the dream camera that appears to have been designed with most of the hopes of the PDMLers in mind. What's it missing, a removable finder? 10fps winder?
I'm happy that Pentax has a camera to compete with the F100 and EOS-3. The MZ-S does all that I ask of it, has build quality to be proud of, and is friendly enough that you could just hug it. Does anyone really want Pentax to make an F5 equivalent, that costs twice the price of an MZ-S and takes 8 AA batteries? For that money, just grab a 67II and be done. Most top pros shooting fashion and portraits are shooting medium format anyway. N***n and C***n don't even try to compete in that field. Do their list members beat their chests over that? I doubt it.
