- What are the current or recent production auto focus cameras by Pentax ?

	Europe	USA	Japan
Name:	Z-1p	PZ-1p	Z-1p	(new 1994)
	Z-1	PZ-1	Z-1
	(unavailable)   Z-5p    (if someone has information on)
	(unavailable)	Z-5	( these 2 please mail me)
	Z-20	PZ-20	Z-20	(discontinued 05/95)
	(unavailable)	Z-20p	(panoramic version of the Z-20.Any other diff?)
	Z-50p	(unav)	Z-50p	(discontinued 05/95)
	Z-70	PZ-70	Z-70	(new	05/95)
	(unavailable)	Z-70p	(panoramic version of the Z-70.Any other diff?)
	Z-10	PZ-10	Z-10

It seems that the Z-5 and the Z-5p are very similar to the Z1 and
Z1-p, respectively. The differences for both models seem to be:
	- lower price (Z-5p 90,000 yen ; Z-1p, 105,000 yen)
	- some (or all ?) Pentax Functions removed.
This info came from Bo-Ming Tong and Toru Egawa (egw@osf.cc.hokudai.ac.jp)


Corrections/additions welcome.

Common points:
	K-AF2 lens mount (this includes the power contacts for
			power zoom lenses)
	SAFOX II autofocus system (center tight sensor only. No
				horizontal detector).
	shutter: vertical travel, metal construction, electronic control.
		the Z1 and Z1p are faster than the others.
	The outside LCD screen is on the top of the viewfinder.
	The flash hot shoe in on the right side on the top of the
	grip. This allows the use of the internal flash at the same
	time than an external flash. But the LCD is on a more
	exposed place than other brands.
