(apologys to all the
PZ/Z1-p lovers out there, but it was feature wise out classed by
everyone else, when features began to matter more than performance).

That's not how I remember it. I compared a PZ-1p to the contemporary
Nikon N90, and it was a fairly close call, feature-for-feature. Quite
a few of the N90 features required the additional multi-function back,
too, which made it significantly more expensive than the PZ-1p.
Mind you, the N90 felt much more solid in the hand, and the shutter
release was much crisper.
The feature list of the PZ-1 was also similar to that of the EOS-1 (I
think -- Canon keeps making minor name changes that I can't keep up
with. It was some form of EOS-1 but I don't know if it was the original
-1 or a -1-something).
Years later when Nikon introduced, with much fanfare, the F100 and a
Nikon owner gushing showed it to me, my first reaction was that it
seemed like a slightly upgraded PZ-1 :-)
