Used Pentax film camera2008-11-16
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 cameras2000-10-13
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 Disappointment2000-07-15
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 compact2000-06-16
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 money2000-06-12

Digital camera batteries
Batteries are vital for all photography and makiing sure that you have a spare set is essential if you intend to take alot of pictures. Print digital also recommend that when deciding upon a digital camera keep in mind what sort of batteries it takes. Does it take rechargeable batteries, are the batteries built and do you have to plug it into the mains, or does the camera only take standard batteries, if so then it can become exspensive if you are a keen photographer and use the camera alot. There are three types of rechargeable batteries: NiCD, NiMH and Lithium-Ion. Nickel Metal Hydride are the most popular rechargeable batteries at present. They hold more charge than their counter parts NiCD and don't suffer from memory effect. The one small down fall of these batteries is that they will loose a small amount of charge even if they are not being used, so be sure to check the batteries before using them. When you purchase a new digital camera make sure to ask what type of battery ...

" For a list of all the ways technology has failed to improve the quality of life, please press three." - Alice Kahn This quote is certainly applicable to consumer electronics. From the very first commercially produced radios to the latest in high-definition television technology, the manner in which the components used to deliver our news, music, movies and entertainment are interconnected seems to have escaped logic.
