Used Pentax film camera
[ Posted: 2008-11-16 ]
This particular camera, advertised as in perfect condition, has a very annoying long delay between pressing the button to take a picture and the actual opening of the shutter so I am very disappointed as the picture I get is not the one I tried to get because of that delay. It is a simpler model of a Pentax Zoom camera I'd had for years and loved (but which has suffered an unrepairable mishap) so even though this one was missing instructions, there was no problem in understanding how it worked. I'll use it until finishing up leftover rolls of film and then have to contemplate buying a brand new model.
Its a nice camera, I like Pentax cameras

This is my 3rd pentax and first two I already given as gifts. Its a nice camera, Nice features like red eye reduction, Ok flash, do not expect Studio pictures from point and shoot.
Big Disappointment

I purchased this camara prior to our family trip to Disney World in place of our bulky Canon SLR. We had a point-and-shoot Pentax years ago that was a great camara.
What a disappointment. We basically ruined 4 rolls of film. Between the viewfinder being so far off the actual image as to make framing a shot next to impossible, the red-eye reduction that did not work and the auto-focus that wasn't, I would never purchase a Pentax again. My daughters' $30.00 point-and-shoot took better pictures.
basic compact

We bought this camera as a replacement for our dead Minolta Freedom 90. The Pentax is a nice camera, takes good pictures in most settings. You need to invest time with the instructions and some film to take any action shots, and to get your indoor flash pics the way you want them. Good camera to have handy, you may want to keep looking if you're more than particular about your point and shoot.
Great value for money
