Tell me then, how does Nikon manufacture and sell an F100 for around a grand? an N90s for $750(discontinued)...certainly cameras which are more bang for the buck compared to an MZ-S. I would just like for Pentax to manufacture and sell a comparable unit if they are going to charge a Nikon price for it. I like quality and know it when I get it. Seems to me the PZ1p competes better than the MZ-S. Stronger AF motor for example. FWIW, I am probably with Pentax for the long haul. I cut my teeth on an ME Super (1984)which I still have and love. When I got into AF, I bought a ZX5n(pro-camera store sales rep sold me on its features) which I consider to be an outstanding unit. I then talked my wife into letting me get a PZ1p(after reading tons of favorable reviews). I absolutely love it. Easy interface. Ergonomic.Will the MZ-S be next? Maybe. I just can't get over how it seems like a step backwards in so many ways.
