Good to hear you still shoot film: film is magic, digital is dull.

The X700 has the 'P' setting. I originally bought it for the wife when I got my X560 which does not have the 'P' but has more manual control. The best thing is that all Minolta 'M' mount lenses work with both so I haver a lot of options.

The power winder I have does one shot at a time, one shot per second and then three shots per second. I use it when taking sports/racing shots in 3ps mode -- Way cool, but you go through film fast!
