I've only had mine a very short time, so I can't really say definitively at this point, but there are 2 things that made the camera extremely desirable for me: the grip takes AA batteries and has a vertical shutter release. I really think the vertical release is going to have an impact on the way I shoot... Other things I like: - better low light AF - I prefer the interface over the pz-1p, especially exp. compensation - I like the finder better Things I don't like: - the back door is flimsier than I would like - can't use the vertical release with my Stroboframes. I might be able to jury rig this, but I'm not sure at this point. - 1/2 step exposure compensation. One more comment....I never really loved my PZ-1p's. They're very capable, and gave great bang for the buck, but they just weren't, um, loyalty-inspiring. They're big plastic robo-blobs. I think the MZ-S is different in that respect.
