I one both cameras now (one of each) and the autofocus of the MZ-S is noticably
better than that of the PZ-1p in most respects. Speed may be slightly better,
but low light sensitivity and tolerance of horizontal/vertical lines are much
better. I don't often use the multimple focus point options but they're nice to
have when you need them.
