As was recently stated,i went for the PZ-1 as it has a higher sync,which is important to me,and the HYP M and HYP P modes.I have recently aquired the pz-1 and due to 3 days of rain am limited to play mode right now,but i can see the HYP modes a great asset in what i do. The wheels may take some getting used to in the program modes,but not very.I have the D1 so its no big deal for me.Info in finder is easy to see and read. The AF on the SF-1 i have is fast and from what i see so far the z-1 is a bit faster.The viewfinder is great,very bright and crisp for an AF camera. I dont think there is a grip for this,if so it might help a bit.I'm used to the vertical on the D1,great idea. Why not start with the PZ-1,i'm sure you;ll like it and move up to the MZ-S when and if you want. Dave(playing with new PZ-1 )Brooks
