Considering that the retail price of a Z1p in Australia is AU$1800,
then AU$2000 for the MZ-S isn't a bad price. Take into account that it
would be atleast AU$1900 to import one from B&H or similar, it's a good
price. And with any luck Michael's Camera Store here in Melbourne will
strike some sort of deal that will get it for a matching price to what
you can buy it from over seas - they have on other items (and my wife's
43 mm limited was purchased from Michael's for less than the other
Melbourne shops could buy it for!).
We will wait and see. I think I like my Z1p's too much to rush out to
get a MZ-S.
