| Latest Review Posted | Pentax Z-1p / PZ-1p
PZ-1p is my first and most favorite Pentax AF camera. I have had it for almost 10 years and it still functions like new. My biggest praise to PZ-1p are fast/professional handling and AF.
Here I list some pros (IMO) on PZ-1p vs. K10D & ZX-L that I also have.
1. AF:
1) AF on PZ-1p is noticeably faster than on K10D.
2) It gives me the feeling that focus is sucked to the object, fast & decisive. On K10D, I just don't have that feeling. It just gives me the similar feel as ZX-L gives (maybe a little faster than ZX-L?).
3) Low light AF speed is better on PZ-1p. However, in some occasion, PZ-1p can't reach focus while K10D can (in auto AF point selection mode).
4) In almost all situations, AF on K10D gives me the feeling that it has more hesitation than PZ-1p, even though may not be much.
2. Handling:
1) Very comfort in hand than K10D or ZX-L. The hand grip is bigger. Shutter button is under front dial wheel rather than above it. So, when holding a PZ-1p, your index finger naturally stays on shutter button. As the result, IMO, pressing shutter button is causing less camera shake.
2) Changing mode is faster.
3) Metering mode is displayed in view finder. (K10D doesn't.)
4) Maybe it just my feeling, PZ-1p feels more responsive. More responsive than K10D even when changing Av or Tv values through dial wheels. K10D's dial wheel aren't just as smooth nor as quick.
3. Lens support:
1) PZ-1p fully supports K & M lens in Av mode. K10D doesn't (changing to M mode &a... |
