Hi Dan, IMO, the PZ-1p is a real sleeper of a camera. It was never pushed by most camera salesman. It basically had all the specs of an N8008s when it came out, + a built-in flash. It still is close to $750 < a N90s with a flash. The light up LCD is great at night, just wish you could toggle it on & off with one button push, instead of needing to push two buttons for a 20 sec? on-time.
Even though some have not liked it's looks, I have always thought it was nice looking and while many don't like it's brickiness, it only takes a couple of times out with it to fall in love with the ergonomics. I haven't held the MZ-S, but I have never held a camera that felt better in the hand than a PZ-1p. The AF has not failed to live up to my expectations. I never expect it to work perfectly in ALL conditions. I expect it to work correctly most of the time and that it has done. When using MF lenses, the focus confirmation is a NICE feature. Lot's and lots of other nice things like the Hyper-program modes. Two sec mirror lockup, IF button. To use it is to love it.
