If I gave points to each camera it would be that the PZ-1p does better with
flash synch speed which is most useful for fill-flash. It can also do flash
compensation with any TTL flash.
The MZ-S, however, is less tiring to hold (for me), better autofocus

I have one. It seems reasonably sharp, perhaps not quite as sharp as the
K 28/3.5 but quite adequate, particularly at f8 or f11. Like all SMC
lenses, it is quite good at handling flare. The focus feel and aperture
ring movement are very nice. An excellent example of solid construction.

As I have found my Z-1p to be rather lacking in the ruggedness

There is a huge difference between the two cameras, enough

That's funny. I own both an MZ-S and a PZ-1p and I wouldn't say that they
have made a mistake. How extensively have you used both to make that kind
of judgement? They are different, that is for sure. I think right now you
have your choice of style. Kind of pleasant if you ask me.

I've noticed that other characters are being incorrectly translated as well.
The last note from Ramimo that I read substituted a 4 for an apostrophe.
These code page problems are difficult enough to figure out on a system you
have total control over.
