Nick,
I do not have the ZX/MZ series cameras in front of me to compare,
but the back door of the MZ-S is interesting. There is foam in two places
only. This points out to me that there was some thought to sealing the
back. And also it is interesting to note the different shapes and forms of
the back that I need to compare it to the ZX/MZ line.
I remember Bill Johnson in Utah telling me about the 'abuses' his
ZX-? has gone through and this impressed me about these 'plastic' cameras.
Looking at the rest of the camera where all the pieces join up with
other ones, it seems to be well sealed. I will look at the other ones to
compare, but I feel that the sealing is good. I can understand Pentax, and
other companies for that matter, not coming out and saying the resistance to
water. You can just imagine, at least in the USA, people suing them when
they place the camera in the washing machine and it stops working. It is
better to have people treat it with kid gloves to lessen abuse.
