Maybe. However, this may be the design of Pentax's own marketing
department (and we all know what that department's capable of -
).
Pentax has long had geographical differences in its cameras. Back
in the screwmount days, there were distributor-caused differences
("Asahi Pentax" versus "Tower", "Asahi Pentax" versus "Heiland
Pentax" versus "Honeywell Pentax", S1 versus H1, SV versus H3v,
etc.). In the K-mount era, the most obvious example (to me) would
be the chrome Super Program versus the black Super A, but there have
been many other nomenclature differences (Program Plus versus
Program A, A3000 versus A3, SF1n versus SFXn, etc., right up to the
current ZX-* versus MZ-*, etc.), as well.
Also, these were not simply "US" versus "the rest of the world"
differences, were they? Weren't they actually "North America"
versus "the rest of the world" differences? Perhaps our Canadian
PDML-ers can elucidate which specific models were marketed in their
country during Pentax history...
Finally, consider this - Why is the LX sold as the "LX" in the rest
of the world, but sold as the "ILX" on eBay? (Actually, we all know
the answer - .)

MZ-6 in Canada
The new Pentax MZ-6 is now listed at Henry's web site, though it is "Not in Stock". The price is C$449; as a comparison, their price for MZ-7 is C$399 and that for MZ-5n is C$599. Not bad for value for just $50 more than MZ-7. Someone has just posted that the model will be called ZX-L in US. Who makes the decision about all these confusing model names/numbers?? We now have to refer this camera as MZ-L/MZ-6/ZX-L just to make sure everyone around the world knows which camera we are talking about -- --Lawrence Kwan--SMS Info Service/Ringtone Convertor--PGP:finger/www-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.vex.net/~lawrence/ -Key ID:0x6D23F3C4-- - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
