My MZ-M was a birthday present, so I didn't choose it myself. I can say, though, that having used it, I would choose it myself.
I've just started a photography degree and this is the ideal high-quality basic kit. It's light to carry, very simple to use and gives very good results. It has the advantage of a depth of field preview, which even some expensive cameras lack. I'm not sure whether I just haven't got the knack of seeing the preview yet, ... ...idea. I'm sure that's my problem rather than the camera's.
While I say it's basic kit, I don't mean the camera is missing anything essential. It is completely manual - with shutter speed and aperture priority settings - and doesn't clutter up your photographic life with lots of gimmicks and functions that you'll never use.

I have had this camera for a little over 2 months now and it is by far the best camera i have ever owned. I take it everywhere with me and i have captured some brilliant images on it; both still and video clips.
It is of a sleek and compact design,... more
There are a number of positive points to this camera such as it's weight and shape. I found it to be light weight and it fitted snuggly into the palm of my hand with the round edge being a benefit in use. Other features which I have found useful are the more
