Personally, I define mid level as anything between the MZ-5n and the Dynaxx 7. >It's only a year old. Pentax has > never replaced an upper-end model this quick. No. But the MZ-S is a special case (It is in fact close to two years old). Pentax decided to manufacture the MR-52, the MZ-S digital sibling, but dropped the idea after the production line was installed. The MZ-S was basically introduced to recouperate developing and tooling cost for the MR-52 project. I cannot imagine Pentax will continue with this platform when they have developed a brand new one customized for both digital and film. Pål
