既然兩廠都很喜歡，
鏡頭群選擇不高但好用的就那幾個其實也夠了，又是金屬機身崇拜者，
那答案不就呼之欲出了嗎？

小弟的感覺. 金屬機身貴在耐用. 不像塑膠機身(說好聽叫做覆合材料), 耐用性還很難有定論.
可是電子控制部分能跟得上嗎?
您可以想像,20年之後,手上拿著一台金屬機身的相機,可是電子快門故障.....
那,金屬機身的意義就大打折扣了.

所以.
應該考慮買機械式的手動相機.
可以保用一生......

>測光沒有保用一生........

I"ve found this to be totally out of this world. These kind of argument is getting too biased. IMHO if you are investing in a SLR. You think system instead of just the body. ITs what the total package that count, not just the body itself. After all they are just mere tools, albit delicate sophesiticated ones. Just remember Tools can be replaced ....

In term of Longativity, the Pentax system obviously had an edge as the same K mount is being utilized, which mean there are possibility to pool the vast reserve of K mount lens, bodies, and accessories. Not to mention you can have Mechanical backup in the form of MX, KX etc.....

The myth about lens is always misleading. In fact both Minolta and Pentax is no where near even a good Mfr in system wise approach as compared to the like of Nikon & Canon. However, as the original poster been saying .... You only really need just that bit of optics. When we look at the lot, Minolta do have more up to date and usable Optics than Pentax.

Looking forward, both company would still be having film based product for a while ( so do others in fact ) but its the digital front that count. Pentax already got the *ist-D which produce some of the best Quality digital capture among its peers. Minolta had yet any real offering though the Coming 7D look promising.

Ultimately there are little to diffrentiate the 2 brand in term of total system approach, and the judgement need to be made on Monetary concern, subjective evaluation of the Lens and your vision of future acqusition.

But read this, both are capable and both will be a good choice from a Hobbyist/Prosumer point of view. If you however intend to go further into PRO / Semi-PRO work. Do consider others.

我跟你一樣奇怪,就是不會想買Nikon和Canon!
這兩套電子相機的系統我都有,不過幾乎很少帶它們出門.個人犯賤,總是喜歡帶那些沒測光的老機械亂拍,拍一張照有時可以考慮10分鐘以上,就算拍的不理想也無所謂,可能我拍照比較重視過程,不計結果吧!
非得這兩台做選擇的話,那就挑MZ-S吧!因為既然重新花錢,就嘗試一下不同的東西玩玩.不過Pentax的AF鏡頭馬達聲蠻大的,對焦速度也慢了些(可能我的鏡頭都比較普通吧),這點您要能夠接受!
純個人偏見,看看就好!^^

有興趣的話跟我聯絡，D7讓您試用看看，那些功能買了就幾乎都會用到。

三十年後人體改成半機械化,腦部植入晶片,雙眼就是鏡頭,晶片就是影像儲存元件...............@@
機械相機的未來留給Leica去思考,你我是毋須多想的! ^^

MZ-S有個貼心的小地方
接環會有個紅燈在暗處提醒你換鏡頭時對準的位置

內閃最廣到24mm
如果鏡頭會檔到內閃的話 相機也會閃動閃燈指示燈提醒你

相機要留給誰啊 ?

不好吧 !.
世間多美好.
還有很多的佳景沒有拍到.
何必急著去做仙呢 ?...
