I can certainly second that. The build quality of the MZ series cameras is very light and plasticky. My wife loves them for the light weight and ease of point and shoot behavior. I don't particularly care for them because of the lack of heft and weight. Of course, I've been using and loving a 67 body. But even an MX has a much more solid feel.
As to marketing, Pentax has done NO marketing that I have seen around northern California concerning the MZ-S or Limited Lenses.
