I would totally agree with Lowell. When I got my K10D it was like revisiting an old friend. The PZ-1 or Pz-1p were both excellent cameras for many reasons and could compete with anything on the market at the time or even today. Once you master the controls and set the camera up to your liking it is a great camera. Given that when new they were $1000, it is a steal at $100-150 these days on Ebay.

As Lowell mentioned there are independant control wheels that will allow you to make the shutter and aperture adjustments without taking your eye off the veiwfinder. It's much faster to set up a shot and if you are shooting moving objects you will wonder why you did it the 'old way'.

If you choose either camera, make sure you get a manual. You can download it online but a printed version is a must in my opinion. These are not your average P&S cameras!
