#1 The MZ-S is a reasonable pro body. Maybe not the greatest, but pretty good by what I read here.

They've done a portion of what we've asked. Let's work with the results and patiently look forward to more (slow as it may be).
I wouldn't be surprised to see the *ist body drop in price within a year and be replaced by a closer-to-MZ-S model in the same price class. And, although the MZ/ZX bodies are going away, the "M" will probably stay as the entry-level orphan, as did the K-1000 for so many decades.
