I think he meant a camera that would clearly take over for the PZ-1p at the top of Pentax's lineup. The MZ-S, while an excellent camera, falls short of the PZ-1p in some areas, such as shutter speed, flash sync. and winder speed. I feel confident that the PZ form-factor and build quality will not be seen again. --mike - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
