The MZ-S is better than that. No expensive back needed for this feature. The MZ-S
print exposure data and focal lenght between the frames. ISO printed on the film
leader.

The digital preview was patented by Pentax long ago. I wonder what it cost for the
Contax. I believe this feature would be more useful if it was via a monitor on the
back of the camera, as suggested by Pentax patent. Whats more, I also wonder about the
battery consumption when using this monitor.
Interchangeable focusing screen is available on all cameras in this price range.

Why not wait until the MZ-S is released before judging how lame it is?

Isn't the MZ-S and the Limited lenses such a sign?
