Pentax IQ Zoom/Espio 90MC

MSRP: $ 315.00

Description: At your command, the IQZoom 90MC extends a powerful 38mm-90mm zoom lens from its super compact body. Passive five-point autofocus and multi-pattern metering work behind the scenes as you shoot to ensure picture-perfect results. And a protective front cover shields the lens for trouble-free traveling.

Model Reviewed:
IQ Zoom/Espio 90MC

Summary:
I expected a $250 camera to last longer than 2 years.

Strengths:
Relatively compact, light, easy to use

Weaknesses:
The diopter adjustment dial is too easy to accidentally move (very annoying!); camera died after only 2 years of casual use

Similar Products Used:

Review 2 of 3

Model Reviewed:
IQ Zoom/Espio 90MC

Summary:
It could be quieter. The camera could be designed to use a cheaper battery- one battery costs approx. $10 and only lasts for about 8 rolls of film.

Strengths:
Compact size, price

Weaknesses:
The zoom lens would not retract the other week and Pentax has said it will cost $200 to repair!

Model Reviewed:
IQ Zoom/Espio 90MC

Summary:
Great camera. Would definitely recommend it to a friend!

Strengths:
Very lightweight, no waiting for the flash to charge, the options are easy to use and understand. Quiet when it takes a picture and when the film rewinds.

Weaknesses:
None really. I wish it came with a better carrying case, though.

Customer Service:
Haven't had to use at all.
