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. -- Mark Roberts www.robertstech.com Photography and writing
