from eBay (1999) Summary:Great camera even in the digital age we are living in! It is very intuitive to use with the shutter speed dial at the upper right...was a seamless transition from my old beater MX which had spent nearly 20 years of steady use with me.
See photos I've taken with this camera here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/framerkat/sets/72157616817417348/ Strengths:*Easy to use shutter speed dial (much like the venerable Pentax MX I used previously)
*Built in flash convenient and useful
*Ability to use a host of lenses...old manual focus to state of the art auto focus models
*METAL lens mount (others from this era had plastic that could break)
*Battery grip FG makes it a convenient camera to use with AA batteries
*Fairly rugged and durable...mine has traveled all over with me Weaknesses:*Lack of dof preview (ZX-5n added this feature)
*No mirror lockup (although I have yet to need this)
*Spring in flash gives out over time...although mine took years of rough use to give out
*Not really anything else...I've thoroughly enjoyed this camera over the last 12 years! Similar Products Used:Pentax PZ-1p, SF1n, ZX-L, k10d, MX, ME Super, etc. etc. etc. Customer Service:Never needed.
