Thanks for the feedback all! I totally understand the points being made.
I look forward to handling the MZ-S and see for myself if it's worth it.

Jeff,
ALL cameras are the same camera with differing sets of bells and whistles.
But you knew that.
The trick is to =know= what bell and whistles are important and desirable
for your photography, then look for a camera that contains the largest
number of your desired features at a price you are willing to pay. If the
features of the PZ-1p are a good fit for you, buy it. If the feature set of
the MZ-S is closer, then consider it. Hell, if the F100 is a better fit, buy
=it=.
Two things to remember:
1. There's not a camera on God's green earth that will make you a
Photographer (and please, all you literalist folk, you know what I mean).
2. How a camera feels in your hand is as important as what the camera can
do. If you don't enjoy using the camera, it doesn't matter if the camera can
work miracles, because you won't use it. Conversely, if you really enjoy
using the camera, you'll find ways to overlook any apparent shortcomings in
the feature department.
