Product Description This user-friendly 35mm camera has automatic features that make taking pictures simple and fun. Just drop your film in the camera and let the automatic film load function get you to your first picture, and advance you to the next frame after each exposure. Use the 38mm-115mm zoom to capture subject and scene close-ups. And the autofocus captures sharp picture details. From the Manufacturer The Pentax IQ Zoom 115V combines outstanding cost performance with a super-compact body, a versatile 38mm-115mm three-times zoom lens and a wide range of automatic functions and user-friendly features. Its eye-catching design and simple operation make it perfect for casual photo shooting in all occasions. The 38mm-115mm (3X) power zoom lens features a high-performance optical design to deliver top quality images. The easy-to-read LCD panel provides vital operational information at a glance, using easy-to-understand icons and numbers. The IQZoom 115V's reliable autofocus and auto-exposure operation let even beginners take sharp, clear images, frame after frame, with extreme ease. The built-in multi-function auto flash offers five different modes to meet various requirements including: auto flash, flash-on, flash-off, slow-shutter sync and red-eye reduction mode to reduce the annoying "red eye" effect in the subject's eyes. The actual-image zoom viewfinder adjusts the viewfinder image according to the selected focal length. It also offers a close-distance compensation frame, in-focus confirmation, close-distance warning, and a flash discharge signal. Foolproof auto film loading allows you to change film quickly and easily. Automatic film advance and rewind make shooting easy. The built-in electronic self-timer delays the shutter release by 10 seconds, allowing the photographer to join family and friends for memorable pictures together. The Infinity-landscape mode lets the user instantly fix the camera's focus at infinity to capture distant landscapes in sharp, crisp focus. Five-mode switchable date imprinting: Year-Month-Day, Month-Day-Year, Day-Month-Year, Day-Hour-Minute, and blank.

Pentax Made a Better Camera 15 years Ago
Just got it, haven't finished a roll for slides to send in, so have no idea how good it is for taking pictures. Don't like it as well as my old Pentax that "died". Shutter release is stiff, needs force to push down. View finder is smaller so harder to see what you are taking a pictue of. And worst, if you want the red eye elemination feature, you have to set it EVERY time. The old one, once it was set it stayed that way when you turned off the camera.

Not a good camera
I received this camera from my husband as a gift right before our son was born. What a mistake this purchase was. It is large and bulky, but the worst thing is that the picture quality is very unpredictable. Some photos turn out ok, others are just awful. The zoom lens almost always takes fuzzy pictures. This is NOT operator error - I have had other cameras and never had problems like this. I also HATE that the camera pauses for a full second when you hit the shutter button before the photo actually takes. When you have small children, their smiles are unpredictable and I've missed too many great shots because this camera paused for too long. I'm going to get rid of this one and buy myself an Olympus Stylus. My advice is to stay away from this one.

Great Zoom Camera!!!
This great camera may be small, but it's packed with great features! The zoom lens is terrific. While I was at my cousin's concert, I could see them up close without moving an inch! Believe me, going from 38mm to 115mm is a long way. I also love the all of the modes. The flash modes are: Auto flash, auto flash with red eye reduction, day-light sync (fill-in flash), slow shutter flash off mode (it uses natural light where flash is not advised), and slow shutter with flash and red eye reduction. The other modes are Infinity landscape mode and self timer (10 sec.) For the price, this is a great camera!

This camera takes great photos but you can find it elsewhere for the same price and it will come with a case and battery. Shop elsewhere.
