Hi Terhi, MZ-S is great. There�s a short evaluation on my site. I like it, it has grown on me. All the best! Raimo Personal photography homepage at http://www.uusikaupunki.fi/~raikorho

I have a p50/p5 and some manual focus lenses (20-80 zoom, 50-mm and a sigma macro), which I would, of course, like to use with the new body too. I usually shoot still-life, portaits etc., not very much anything with a lot of action, possibly because I'm finding it a bit difficult with manual focus... also I'm getting a bit tired of dragging the heavy p50 around, and its poor ergonomy and lack of a flash. I'm wavering in hesitation between MZ-S, *ist and PZ-1P - opinions please? Other suggestions? My budget is max 1000 � with a simple lense, 50 mm perhaps as the old one is not very good. I dream of a 100 mm macro, but I suspect that's far out of my budget... I would like the camera be solid to hold, not too light and flimsy, and with a good bight viewfinder, hopefully suitable for person wearing glasses. Also I need a flash, but later on when I manage to raise the funds for that. Until then, the built-in will have to do. However, suggestions are welcome. I don't really understand much of flashes, so I would be perfectly happy with a point-and-shoot type, and if it works with the old p50 all the better.
