Raimo, Don't know for sure, but based on reports on the list here for the past several years, I would say that the PZ-1p is more reliable on motors. There have been multiple reports of ZX-5's failing on film transport and I have yet to hear of any PZ-1p's. My guess is that the ZX series motors

Maybe the PZ-1p has more torquey motor(s) - it has more FPS, too. But does it really affect reliability - only time and prolonged use will tell. Maybe the MZ series has less torque to improve longevity, who knows? Does the PZ-1p have one motor just for rewind? IIRC the Canon T-90 had 3 motors. M
