I guess its not just a matter of saving on cost but on weight also. I looked at
the specs of the MZ-30 and it weighs in at 13.3 oz (without batteries or lens),
a saving of 1 oz against the MZ-7. Maybe if they took of the strap lugs,
removed the pop-up flash, the hot shoe, the mid roll rewind function it would be
even lighter.
