Siddiq,
I do not know about the Konica; but I agree on the manual/meter thing. I
carried a small RF around for more then 10 years as my sole camera - the
meter of which I never really trusted or used from the start. But it was
fully manual exposure (and actually distance focus) and I even achieved many
nice results using slide film like Agfachrome 50.
I think I would be inclined to make the manual setting option a priority
too. Even if it meant getting as handheld meter as an accessory for the
times I wanted one.
Cheers,
Lee

i don't believe the s3 has manual override. that's one of the big features i
really want. i realize metering will uncouple in manual mode, but all i need
is one meter reading of a scene, and then i can
change aperture/shutter as needed from there, with small variations if
needed to account for changing brightness. precision is not a big deal,
we're talking print film here.
