Rating: Summary: good Review: I think this is a good overall camera. Basic features with the addition of a few extras. A sharp image , but not as sharp as the 150 modle for a bit more money, but both a great camera
Rating: Summary: Too Perfect Review: It's just like everyone says, it's the perfect camera that does everything. It's so lightweight and extremely easy to use. It's the best compact 35mm camera. And I love the red-eye reduction, it works so perfectly. I've used 2 or 3 rolls and every picture is better than crystal clear, about as clear as if I was using a digital camera. I used the panoramic view on an incredible sunset and the picture came out wonderfully detailed. I love all the features, especially the self-timer and date imprinting, and everything from the red-eye reduction to the different flash modes. It's truly the all-time best camera, especially for the price. Please, everyone, buy this camera. It deserves so much more than just 5 stars.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic little camera Review: Never had anything other than simple point and shoot models before this camera, and will never go back now. This camera is very easy to use, offers a multitude of flash and focus options, and (most importantly) produces TERRIFIC results. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Rating: Summary: The perfect do-everything Camera Review: On a recent trip to Italy a bag of mine was stolen at the train station in Rome containing my old Camera, a Pentax that I had had for almost 9 years. I loved it, it had everything I could every want from a camera and took excellent pictures. When it cam to replace it I decided on the Pentax IQ Zoom 130M Date 35mm Camera after a little digging and reading other reviews on Amazon. And I have been happy with it ever since. I have been using the camera now for just over a year and have used it in a wide variety of locations. It works wonderfully in almost any light condition. I have used to for portraits, scenery, fireworks, action photos, and close up stills. In every situation in performed just as expected. The only situation where the pictures did not turn out well was on a trip to the Lewis and Clark caverns. Normal flash mode did not provide enough light causing the pictures to be grainy and out of focus. I attempted to use the slow shutter sync but did not have a tripod to stand it on causing the photos to be blurred and jerky. If you are looking for a do-everything, easy to operate, compact camera you can't go wrong with this model. I highly recommend it.
Rating: Summary: top notch Review: only problem light weight. hard to hold steady at hi magnification. im a camera nerd. i want to point and shoot.my photos are everything i ask for . ireally like it after getting rid of my konica slr that i was never smart enough to use.
Rating: Summary: What a dissapointment Review: This camera appeared to be the perfect one for what I needed; an easy to use camera with a zoom. The day after I received it I used the zoom and it retracted one time. The next time it would not retract and the zoom is completely jammed. This in itself is not so bad, annoying and inconvenient yes, but not a total disaster. There is probably a simple fix for this. I thought I could just call the manufacturer and get some help. Fat chance of that! They do not even give a phone number for customer service. I had to send an email and was told I would get a reply in writing within 3 days. I just got a reply (a form email letter)that tells me to ship the camera back to them at my expense. Next time I will research the customer service as well as the item I purchase.
Rating: Summary: Great Pictures Review: This camera is easy to use. It takes great pictures all the time. When I first bought the camera, I used different light settings to experiment with it. Not one picture has come out bad.
Rating: Summary: Great camera Review: This camera is pretty tough, having braved 900 miles of the Appalachian Trail in my backpack. In seems no worse for wear save a few scratches. Takes excellent pictures in all conditions with enough special features (delayed shutter, no flash, zoom) to satisfy the gadget-freak and artist alike.Complaints: The panarama mode simply crops the top and bottom of a standard 35mm frame instead of using extra film on the sides. The "macro" focus that's supposed to let you get very close won't let you get closer than about 3 feet. Anyone looking for a 35mm, lightweight, easy to use point-and-shoot that can take a beating should check this camera out.
Rating: Summary: Worth it Review: This camera is worth it's price. It is small, lightweight, has date imprinting and more. Ease of use is also in its favor. Highly recommended.
Rating: Summary: Best Camera I've owned Review: This is a superb camera. It takes excellent pictures and well worth the money. In fact, this camera beats some of the higher end Pentax, Minolta and Olympus cameras Ive tested. An excellent value!
