 I happened to buy the only one in stock at Arlington Camera in Arlington, Tx and the

 899.99.  The quoted price on Adorama is 849.95.  I would have to disagee about the 
overkill for a
 Pentax.  This camera has a solid feel like on the Nikon F100 or the Contax N1.
 
Yesterday, Adorama emailed me a quote of 899.95 -- must be 
inflation!

 I seem to recall them selling for more than $800.  The MSRP on the PZ-1p is
 $1048, btw.  In a couple years we'll probably be paying $550-$600 for a new
 MZ-S.


Isn't the list price on the MZ-S around $1400? I woudn't bet on that the price will go 
below $600 or even near that figure.

 The MZ-S is a fine camera but quoting a price approximating one grand is definitely 
an 
 overkill for Pentax.

$1000 for a Pentax overkill? I wonder what that make the LX? Multiple overkill?

RE: MZ-S In Stock at BH ...

2001-06-12 Thread Paris, Leonard

Yeah but we got a better camera than the F90, too.  I've owned both an N90s
and a PZ-1p and the PZ-1p is a whole lot better, although build quality may
be slightly less than the Nikon. Cracks in the battery cover door area kind
of piss me off about my PZ-1p. I really believe the MZ-S is pretty close to
Nikon F100 class, there are a few tradeoffs on either side but the $850
price of the MZ-S pretty much makes up for the differences. If you shop
around, the F100 is still going to cost $1100 new.

I've been watching the price of the F5 drop lately, too.  Interesting.

What was the consensus opinion on how to fix the cracks on the PZ-1p?  Can I
do it myself, neatly, or should it go back to Pentax? If they don't have a
sturdier solution, it's just going to happen again in a year.

MZ-S In Stock at BH ...

2001-06-11 Thread Grigolia

 Just checked the BH web site.  The MZ-S is listed as In Stock.
 Unfortunately, it's still listed at $999.95!  :-
 Will wait until it comes more in line with other volume dealers!
