It is better than before when it went through the rumors mill. I don't think they can say such things in public and not stand by it if they are not to loose all credibility. > The *ist D is a fairly decent camera when viewed in its own right.

Actually, the MZ-S has more features than the Z-1p but it uses a totally different interface and philosophy. It updates the interface of the original Asahi Pentax from 1958. It is an upgrade path for the MZ-5n and all Pentax with the original Pentax interface; the one you find on every camera from the 60-70's. The Z-1p was basically just discontinued but the *ist's are close. Pål
