The camera is pret compact, its height is about the same as an iPhone4's width, only a few mm wider than iPhone's height:
Brother Feng Wei,
knowing that you are busy, any chance that there would be Pentax Outing this month? To suck the poison out of MZ-1?

Anyone know how to Hotwire a trigger to the flash pop up?
detritus said:a simpler way is to use the pop-up to trigger an optical slave flash.
i'm not really sure why so many pple find a hotshoe useful for a compact. i can literally count the number of times on 1 hand where i've actually bothered to mount a trigger / flash on my LX5... and it was more for curiosity than anything ;p
its a "bring everywhere" lightweight compact. after mounting flash, its neither lightweight nor compact already... camera bag also becomes much heavier... :dunno:

One must consider the practicalities/logic for one.
1. The on-camera flash can tilt up, so it does ceiling bounce.
2. A $5-$10 optical trigger may work (but pre-flash from pttl may mess with that, I need to check if this is so on my Q, though I seem to recall that I got it to work the last time I tried)
3. Few ppl need/use external flash on such a camera (though I do)
Practically, point #1 already meets most non-direct flash needs.
hi feng wei
will u be doing a review on it? on aspects like AF, IQ etc..
fengwei said:Yes, I'll post some handson review by the weekend. But won't comment too much on AF/IQ 'cause the camera is just a preproduction w/ alpha/beta version firmware (not stable yet, and certain functions are not available).
When will it arrive in stores?
Heard it'd be available in Spring time. So I guess probably around March to April time frame?
