Maybe it's like the IT industry, it just gets better and cheaper but I doubt it. Chassis may not be the only area where the quality differs, I've never handled a MZ-6 so I'm not in a position to say.
You've got me curious now, OH NO! NOT ANOTHER CAMERA
Go out and get it ;-)
Actually, it turns out that there is one important difference: The MZ-6 has a plastic penta-whatever-they-call-it in the viewfinder, while the MZ-5n has a proper glass pentaprism. Apart from this, the MZ-6 looks like a properly built unit (unlike the MZ-30/50/60), with metal lens mount, full aperture coupling etc.

Actually I believe the chassis is identical. The MZ-6 is compatible with the high speed features of the 360fgz.

Build quality?!
Quite possibly.
Actually, now that you mention it, I noticed that the MZ-6 is slightly lighter than the MZ-5n even though it's also somewhat larger - if the figures on Bojdar Dimitrov's page are correct - so maybe it's likely to be less solidly built.

What are you people's opinion on the MZ-6? I found a new one with a
much-reduced price, so I'm a bit tempted... Seems to me that it's rather similar to the MZ-5n, but its list price is lower, so there must be something "missing", but what exactly is it? Actually, based on the specs, it looks like the MZ-6 has something to offer that the MZ-5n hasn't, in terms of program modes (not that I'm too interested in those, but still...)
