So what if the MZ-S was the developing basis for new products and now will be the basis for the new chassis? I could >imagine a new chassis line as follows:This sounds utterly sensible to me, too (with the possible exception of the polycarbonate in the first one being maybe impossible as indicated in other threads). This would make a fine line of cameras with consistency and yet variety appealing to various users and yet sufficiently condensed to eliminate overlapping and too-similar models. I suppose they'd have to hang onto some sort of MZ-30 type thing for a while at the bottom end and maybe use that sort of chassis for the problematic scaled-back polycarbonate "cheaper MZ-S" you mention.
- a cheaper MZ-S made of polycarbonat replacing MZ-5/MZ-6
- the present MZ-S as semi-pro camera
- the previous MZ-D with minor changes and the APS-sized chip
- a MZ-flagship as big as the MZ-D with an integrated, fast winder and
more pro-features
For me this sounds sensible (altough it is pure speculation), Heiko Hamann
Interesting speculation - thanks for the post.
