Hello, and welcome.

The Z1-P is an awesomely capable and complex camera. I had one for ten years and never used all its facilities, but there is no law that says you have to. Just use what you need, and you'll find that there is very little that the camera can't do.

If and when you decide to get a DSLR, you'll find that the *ist D is very closely modelled on the Z1-P.

Not the rare, almost useless but highly sought after Grip Strap fdp

I got to grips with one at Focus on Imaging at the NEC a few years ago, the only one I've ever seen in the flesh - so to speak, couldn't justify the cost then but I really want one now!
