My main advice would be to think very hard before selling the LX and the lens.
You might really regret it afterwards, because none of the cameras mentioned,
comes close to the quality feel that makes the LX so outstanding. Even the MZ-S
is no match, although it is far better than the PZ1 - but then
In manual mode, the F100 & N80 control the aperture with the index finger and
sp with the thumb. This can be switched, via a custom function, on the F100.

The combination of the MZ-S with the 360FGZ gives excellent flash
capabilities. Why there isn't a 500FGZ is one of those little mysteries
only Pentax understands.

I can't remember who, but someone asked why my statement below made sense to
me.
I couldn't put my finger on it (so to speak) until now (other than the fact
that it "just felt right").
Here's my explanation. My last cameras were an LX and MX. With those
cameras I used my right thumb to turn the

Maybe I shouldn't say anything here, since of the three discussed I have only a
PZ-1. I've handled a PZ-1p and an MZ-S once each, and read a lot about them.
But for what it's worth, here goes:
The only thing that makes me consistently wish I had the PZ-1p rather than the
PZ-1 is the exposure sca
Advantages of each:

Having once held John's MZ-S, all I can say is that it is a very fine camera.
Haven't held the PZ-1, but if money were no object I'd definitely get the
MZ-S.

It's all relative. If you are used to classic interface of LX, then MZ-S
would be easier to master and use. But Z-1P is excellent camera too, after a

I can honestly say that the pz-1 is 100% quieter than the sf-1.I'LL KEEP THIS THING.

The mirror/shutter vibration is significant enough to cause problem with
slow shutter speed handheld shots or supertele like 600mm. If that's

I agree that the layout is fundamentally intuitive for me. Great camera all

They didn't. The wheels in the Z1p and the *istD perform identical functions.

It's amazing how much difference of opinion there is on these two cameras.
Probably since they are both great cameras. I have owned both and wish I
still did, but I had to sell one for financial reasons. I chose to keep the
MZ-S and I do not regret that decision in the least. I have the battery

That really *has* to be your decision. We don't know what's important to
you. You've read the list of differences between the PZ-1 and the PZ-1p.
Apart from that
