I have been quietly watching this thread until I decided to grab my MZ-S and try it out because I have never accidently fired it.
Mine has a definite detent. The shutter button moves freely and then you definitely have to put much more pressure to fire the shutter. I have never owned a Z-1p. I tried one long ago, but it was not comfortable in my hands. So I cannot compare my MZ-S to it. The button on the BG-10 grip is similar to the MZ-S but not quite as evident.
