I completely disagree. The MZ-S is an outstanding camera, very much in the same class as the LX. Understated, features photographers can use, and very well built. If you have never used one you wouldn't know just how good they are. I got one today and can't believe how outstanding it is. It is much more intuitive than the PZ1. Vic
