My Opinion: If there is a new flagship, it won't be based on the MZ-S.Most of the missing "flagship" pieces like high FPS will require a bigger body, and the MZ-S just wasn't desgined for that (unless they integrate the grip and put stuff in there, like the original MZ-D design.). It would make sense to me to build one of those "big hunk o'black" bodies (like the F5 or EOS-1v) precisiely for those folks who liked the PZ-1P and want all of the high end features. The MZ-S can remain the "nice but less features" camera like the the F100 or EOS3.
One last prediction. I think Pentax will leave all the flash comepsnation in the flash and just come out with a more powerful flash, e.g., AF 500 FGZ Steven Desjardins Department of Chemistry Washington and Lee University Lexington, VA 24450 (540) 458-8873 FAX: (540) 458-8878 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
