Offically, cameras with "user interchangable screen option" means you can change the screens yourself without disassemble the cameras. High end bodies like SFX/1 or Z/PZ-1 bodies are included, so to MZ-S, MX and LX. However, due to the interesting design of the MZ/ZX bodies, you can actually pull down the metal frame that's holding the screen from the front of the camera without disassembling. I did that with my MZ-M and it worked. However, it could be tracky if you didn't know how. And I wouldn't recommend if you don't know what you are doing. Unfortunately, I do not know how the P/PZ bodies were designed.
