There's no word about time frame so release date is pure speculation. I personally
doubt any other pro grade camera will be shown this year. As we have heard before
theres supposedly a flagship coming and the MZ-S is not intended as that flagship. Its
unclear to me whether the "S-1" or the "MZ-1" is the flagship. I also got the
impression half a year ago that the flagship (or was it the Z-1p successor?) was
basically ready for release. However, a couple of months ago it said that the flagship
(or was it the Z-1p successor?) will go through a redesign because its basically
gotten too old and uncompetitive in the meantime. The Minolta Dynaxx 7 is seen as a
minimum benchmark.
I personally believe, and I stress this is pure speculation on my part - not based on
any hard facts, that a flagship or "S-1" will not be that close. I'll be surprised if
its released before Photokina next year; thats 1,5 years away. However, I do believe
that one of the MZ-3 upgrades is not that far away - maybe even this year.
