Nope, you're not. PZ-1p is my third camera, after Minolta 505si and Pentax SuperProgram. I did not find it complex to understand and after some ten rolls I can set most frequent things without thinking about it. I found the user manual that comes with it close to useless, though. There are many things other people mentioned that are not there, but I'm fairly happy with the camera. But I do not have 20 or more years of experience with photography and have not developed "my ways of doing things" yet. I guess that for someone that comes from the more traditional line of cameras, PZ-1p may require some rethinking of basic techniques one used to use with more "classic" bodies. Hyper modes, however practical, may feel just too different for such audience, at least at first. > the only one who > feels that MZ-S is not as good as it could and should have > been. Can't say as I didn't really use it apart for short time in the shop. However, when choosing between used PZ-1p and new MZ-S based on reviews and data sheets, I did not find the latter attractive enough to justify the extra money.
