Steve:

I bought an F4s a few years ago and like it very much. Until I get much
more advanced in composing with my M system, the F4s is my choice for
rapidly moving objects (e.g., three-year-old grandson). The excellent
metering system and the option to use autofocus also make it a wonderful
body to have along when even less adept family members want to squeeze off
a frame or two.///Dick Baznik
