In my understanding the new chassis will be targeted at a lower price segment, for the mass market, while the MZ-S is a low volume item. It is purely speculative by I would rather expect the new chassis to replace the MZ-3/5/6/7/10 series? They will need a more rugged camera too (which will naturally be more expensive). So what would prevent them from releasing an "upgraded" or revised camera based on the MZ-S, or another digital-version, in the long run? Previous camera cameras of the K and M-series were also based on different chassis (e.g. KM/KX/K1000 vs. K2; ME vs. MX etc.) Alexander __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
