I've secretly been wanting one of these. There's one on Craigslist here with a red ring on it for 120. too much, but I want it, as a novelty in my bag.

I mean isn't that what point and shoot cameras are based on nowadays? 1 button to zoom in and 1 button zoom out. Not that that's a great thing either, but I think their experimenting actually paid off in that aspect. ![]() I read somewhere that they pulled the concept from their camcorder division--I could be mistaken on that. Anyhow, it honestly is a bad idea--if the motor fails, the unit is completely SOL, whereas standard lenses don't have that liability. Zooming in/out manually with a push/pull or rotation build is fast, and makes little noise. With a standard lens, I could have zoomed in or out a good 1-2 seconds faster than the power-zoom. It's a poor overall concept... and yes, it did actually catch on in the form of P&S bodies AND bridge cameras. A DSLR with this powerzoom is basically a bridge camera without IS or the ability to zoom 20x-35x

A GOOD fully-functional (ie tested, working) PZ usually goes for $45-$60 shipped. The one you linked probably won't sell for more than $20 shipped.

Speaking of which, a photographer friend of mine actually has an extra PZ in his assorted camera gear lot. It's in mint condition, like mine--if someone wants it, let me know and I'll sell it for him. EX+ rating at KEH doesn't guarantee spotless glass (LN- rating), and that's $53 shipped
