Much has been made of the rewind on the MP - personally I don't find it a 
significant draw back.  I'm an amateur, rarely have the need for rapid 
rewind.  When I go to the Denver Grand Prix I won't be shooting the MP but 
my autofocus - do everything SLR.  For my stroll around street photography 
the old school rewind is just not an issue.
