I'm not familiar with the ZX-M, all though I believe I recall reading that
when twinned the shutter sync on these cameras is accurate enough to freeze
moving helicopter blades.   Is anyone out there using these cameras?   The
fact that they're available new and not from Cambridge Camera is an
advantage.  Is it possible to electronically sync the shutters on ZX-Ms
without voiding the warranty?    Jim Harp
