This news was in my inbox yesterday (sorry about the delay), from British Journal of Photography (BJP): > Covers come off new Pentax SLR MZ-S > > As revealed by BJP last year (04 October, 2000), Pentax is set to > release a new 35mm SLR camera. > > The originally unnamed pro-specification camera was first unveiled at > Cologne's photokina show last autumn, and was identified subsequently as > the MZ-S (BJP, 20 December 2000) and made its working debut at Focus on > Imaging in Birmingham this week. > > The new camera will become the flagship model in the MZ-series line-up > when it becomes available in July, and is expected to compete with the > most popular SLRs on the market, including the Canon EOS 3, the Nikon > F100 and the Minolta Dynax 7. > > (Read more in this week's printed issue of BJP) > These points stand out IMNSHO: * MZ-S is described as "pro-specification". No "semi-pro" equivocation here! * MZ-S "will become the flagship model in the MZ-series line-up". The question is will there be any other line-up but the MZ-series? * The release date will be in July (but this may be the British release date). I just thought I'd share that info with y'all.
