>From what I can see, the Z/PZ series have never been appealing to most
people (I was one of them). It could be the general appearance, it could be
those silly ads in magazines, I don't know. I did not even consider to buy
the Z-1p that I have now, until I had no other AF choice from Pentax (I have
never found any MZ/ZX bodies appeal to me). PZ-1p is already an upgrade of
the PZ-1. Consider both have never been very successful, from the business
standpoint, I see little reason to take another risk on something that have
never sold. As a Z-1p user now, I think it has potential. But Pentax has
done nothing to market this model, and would be too late now.
