Let's not forget that the MZS is just a byproduct of
the development of a digital SLR camera body. In my
opinion, hte MZS looks much more with everything
Pentax has already done thant the PZ1. Don't get me
wrong I have a PZ1 and simply love the interface. But
it's bulky and clearly have more of a N**** look and
feel than the traditional Pentax style. MZS is a
light, compact, durable, easy-to-use reliable camera
and if the digital sibling is placed at a reasonable
level, it can turn to be the digital K1000.
Just my thoughts,
Herbet.
