from Lawrence Photo Summary: This has been an almost perfect travel camera for me. I keep it in a small bag around my shoulder when on a trip and it's so small and light that I don't notice it. I can whip it out in a flash and snap a shot so quickly and easily. It is simple to use but intelligent; my pictures are almost always perfectly explosed and sharp--and I generally use slide film. The 28 mm lens is particularly valuable. I couldn't live with most p&s's that are only 35-38 mm. Strengths: Small, light, easy to handle and use, excellent results, great wide angle, strong flash, battery lasts for about 15 rolls of 36. Weaknesses: Not very good in low light conditions--at least with tele. Auto fill flash often shoots in bright light conditions--annoying. I dropped it in a creek but grabbed it as it hit the water, so it barely got wet, but ruined the roll and the viewfinder fogged up, although it clered in 24 hours. Wish it were more weather-resistant! The lens is very good but not good enough for art-quality landscapes. Similar Products Used: I have used a Nikon EM slr since 1980. Along with two Olympus non-zoom pos's--both very fine. Customer Service: I have an extended warranty--highly recommended--and sent it in to Pentax because of a light leak caused by a bad hinge--after three years of use. They did a complete overhaul on it and got it back to me in about two weeks. I couldn't be happier with the service!
