I should say definitely some sort of marketing failure. I have never, ever seen a (P)Z-1 or (P)Z1-p in the flesh and I've been in a lot of camera shops in my time! I briefly owned a Z-70 which is probably on a par with the Z-1 in the looks department. Great camera to use, but wouldn't win any prizes in a beauty contest. Come to think of it, don't see many of those around either. I think Pentax found their way again with the introduction of the ZX/MZ series. The Canon/Nikon mentality is thriving as illustrated by my old colleague. He wanted to buy an SLR to replace his old praktica and asked my advice. I duly gave it. He still came back with a Nikon F65. He'd been swayed by the swanky name. Wendy --- Wendy Beard Ottawa, Canada mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
