John, I never let a camera be exposed w/o some protection when in inclement
weather, a hat or towel or in the case of the 600, sometimes a jacket. To
not provide some sort of shielding is asking for trouble.
Don't know if that was the case with your PZ-1P or not.
I had a PZ-1P which saw a phenominal amount of film go thru it - it was used
both for work & pleasure shooting and it never missed a beat except for a
rewind motor that had to be replaced.

IMO its more of a marketing thing than an actual factor.
I've had a camera (a PZ-1p) start behaving very strangely when I was
photographing during moderate rain. So I just switched to the MX :-)
