Maybe the PZ-1p has more torquey motor(s) - it has more FPS, too. But does it really affect reliability - only time and prolonged use will tell. Maybe the MZ series has less torque to improve longevity, who knows? Does the PZ-1p have one motor just for rewind? IIRC the Canon T-90 had 3 motors. Many cameras have only one. All the best!
