  • Good camera with some weaknesses

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 18, 2003
    Pros: Lightweight, metering system, strong body, good layout, takes all Pentax manual focus and autofocus lenses
    Cons: Aperture ring hard to use, sync speed only 1/180th, film advance only 2.5fps,accessories selection,price

    Summary: First of all, MZ-S and MZ-S QD are the same cameras. QD stands for quartz date(back) and all MZ-S to my knowledge have quartz date backs. I have owned an MZ-S for a while. While it may be nearly the best Pentax body in many respects, it does have ... read more

    Pros: Quick and simple to operate. Compact Size Well Built
    Cons: 2.5 fps, body design makes aperture control on bigger lenses difficult, eyepiece keeps slipping off.

    Summary: I've used my Pentax PZ1-P for almost 6 years and recently upgraded to the MZ-S. I like the MZ-S' solid build, compact size and the way Pentax has laid out the controls for quick manual manipulation. For example, simple dedicated knobs allow you to ... read more

  • Most User Friendly Camera Ever!

    Pros: wireless flash, data imprint, DOF preview switch,slanted top panel
    Cons: batteries don't last long

    Summary: I have used may different cameras, but none is as easy to use as this one. Most others have program dials or buttons. It is just as easy to use as my old Konica T3. Since I am used to turning dials, this is the best. You can also do anything you want in ... read more

  • Pentax MZ-S

    Sep 12, 2001
    Pros: Build quality, fast AF, controls design, compatibility
    Cons: Reported battery consumption by some users, unique cable release required.

    Summary: Cannot agree with many of the points raised here. 1. More than the top-plate is made of magnesium alloy. 2. The program functions really are used very occasionally, as they set operating parameters which do not need consideration for every ... read more

  • I need to re-write this review after owning this camera! It's so good...

    Pros: Solid-built, Compact&Lightweight, Ergonomically Excellent, Superior "Hyper-Operation", Data Imprinting, Midroll-Rewind&Reload Mode, Very Carefully Designed! Complete Accessories
    Cons: X=1/180th, Film Advance Speed of 2.5fps, Line AF CCD Sensors

    Summary: I previously wrote a "not recommend" review here and a copy of the review is kept here at the bottom. However, after my purchase of this camera, when I found a very good offer at US$705 last week, I'm starting to appreciate very much how wonderful my ... read more
