Subject: RE: New Pentax S-1, MZ-1 and MZ-4(2?)
Hi Cameron
I've been following the list for about 2 years and am a long-term pentax fan
in Canada. Starting in 99 I waited for the rumoured new body to come out
but finally settled for a PZ-1p. I completely agree with your evaluation of
it "I love it". Its a great camera and is loaded with outstanding features
for the price. One of the features I like the best is the Hyperprogram
where I don't have to take my eye off the viewfinder. And I like the
aperature wheel which allows for sensitive adjustment. I now quite dislike
aperature ring adjustment. But I also love autofocus and the PZ-1p
doesn't really measure up and it is not sealed well. (lately I have used my
camera only in the rain or snow it seems and it has been soaked many times).
I wanted a better-sealed tough camera from Pentax I too was disappointed at
the MZ-S specs, it doesn't have focus-aid light, low fps, and no aperature
wheel. So again I will wait to see if a new body is indeed released.
Please post this to the discussion site on my behalf. I haven't been able
to figure out how to join.
thank you
Sincerely

I LOVE my PZ1-p, and was rather disappointed at the MZ-S cameras specs,
although it too is a very nice camera. As I would probably only be able to
buy one of these cameras, I think I will wait a bit when the MZ-S comes out
to see if these rumours pan out. I would also be interested in an all-metal
high quality mechanical camera for battery-free back-up. Could this be the
rumoured LX replacement? Keep us posted, Paal. And thanks for the good work.
