Pal, Do you realize your posts are full of back-handed insults?
"All function on the MZ-S is clearly market and totally intuitive for anyone who can read." "One may well enjoy the Z-1p. But them one would probably enjoy any Canon or Minolta just as well." "If you can't adjust the aperture on any Pentax without taking the eye from the viewfinder you are handicapped!" You needn't insult others when they don't agree with you or share your viewpoint. The camera body a person chooses has no bearing on who they are as a person. It would be like me saying you are stupid because after 6 years you still can't get the hang of using a PZ-1p. That wouldn't be a very nice thing to say, would it?

It didn't reach the shops because it didn't get out of them fast enough. In fact, I suspect Pentax deleted the LX from the world market to push the Z-1p. A Pentax rep told me that the Z-1p increasingly become an impossible sell and that it never really sold in the first place. In comparison, the Pentax rep said that the MZ-S has sold beyond their expectations. > One may well enjoy the Z-1p. But them one would probably enjoy any Canon or Minolta just as well. And thats probably the basic problem with the Z-1p. You can't say the same of the MZ-S; its unique. > When the Z-1 was release most users didn't have a large inventoty of AF lenses. The camera was not sufficiently different from the competition to prevent people to switch brands in hordes to Nikon, Canon and Minolta when they were rerady to take the plunge to AF. > > > Pål > - > This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
