The top ten!

I didn't like it I'm afraid. It was too small for me. The film loads upside down on the right hand side compared to all other SLR's that I know of. It also had a 'crippled' mount meaning that the older manual lenses could not be used. It used 2 x CR2 batteries so the optional battery grip was a 'must have' really.

Other than that it was a very capable and feature rich camera. It's feature set is very similar to the MZ-6 film and *istD digital bodies. It has selectable focus points, wireless flash, P-TTL & TTL capable. All the normal exposure modes are available too.

A nice camera, just not for me. My MZ-6 has all the capabilities I need of a film camera, which is why I've kept it. It hasn't been anywhere near a roll of film for a very long time though.

The *ist is the last of the film bodies, and quite a sophisticated specification as well. We still have an MZ-3 and an *ist on the shelves, but their days are really numbered. The only thing that stops me selling them is that they are in perfect condition and the price I would get would be insulting....

2: KX (these two may be reversed, but the MX is just slightly easier to carry and use)
3: K-m (as a first DSLR it's ace, I just wish it had two control dials)
4: ME Super
5: P30T
6: SFX
7: KM
8: ME
9: MV1
10: MG (only bought it because it shares my initials, although to be fair it's an ME with some plastic bits and auto flash sync)
