Well, just because you're not willing to pay more than 500 for doesn't mean it's overpriced. I don't want to spend the money for an Mercedes S-class but that doesn't mean it's overpriced. > You state often that the PZ1p is/was a failure. If so, it > is due to Pentax marketing strategy. I think it's mostly due to Pentax lack of image and thereby credibility. I'm certain that the Z-1p would have been a successful Nikon. However, due to Pentax low brand value (they wasted it), a Pentax need to be special indeed for users of other brands to notice. The Z-1p was simply too similar to other cameras of the same vintage and stand a chance against the Nikon F90 although the Z-1p is better camera. >I think the MZ-S will be a similar > "failure". ASBESTOS SUIT APPLIED. The MZ-S isn't designed to sell as much as originally intended for the Z-1p. It doesn't need to sell as much to be regarded successful.
