Hi everyone I’m also very attached to my PZ-1p. I bought it in 2000 after much consideration. Several camera store owners had lambasted it as a bulky dumb ugly body that was outdated. Luckily for me, I didn’t believe them. I began to read the glowing reviews on this camera. Then, I tried it out and was hooked! I’m sure those salespeople I talked to had NEVER picked one up before. But now I want to switch to digital. I have a big project coming up for my studies and don’t want to spend the $1400 I had to spend last time on film and processing. So my PZ-1p is up for sale. Here’s my ad: Pentax PZ-1p body for sale here in Canada. This PZ-1p lives up the camera's outstanding reputation. The camera’s hyperprogram interface is outstanding and is extremely intuitive interface. The camera is in good condition cosmetically and in excellent mechanical condition. It has been very well cared for. The camera has several fine scratches on the pop-up flash, on the LCD panel and on the baseplate. As with so many of the PZ-1p cameras, it has that common small crack next to the screw on the camera body baseplate. These scratches are small and unless you're a perfectionist, they won't bother you in any way. The camera is in outstanding operating condition. This includes the body, mount cover, and camera strap. I’m asking $400 Canadian dollars but will negotiate.
But I'm a university student now and need the money for a project and so must give up my prized camera. I have several hi-res digital photos of the camera if you'd like to see it. Buyer pays actual shipping costs. Thanks Ray
