I consider a "mirror lock-up" an essential feature of a camera, which is kinda-sorta why I restrict most of my "SLR" ventures to a PLOOT or Viso I, both of which offer this feature. (See, BD, Ernst was thinking of you and Jim, all those years back!). But, pray, whatever is a "ratcheted film advance", and why should this be important? Are there digital cameras, your lust and love, with this feature? In any event, just what IS this?
