Summary: value for money
Review: I bought this camera around a year back and since then it has been used not only by me but also my friends. I have always got good results. There a lot of features in this camera and to get the good results you must use these features when required. I must say this requires a little knowledge of photography.

Summary: Photos okay but horrible to use
Review: I took this back to the shop after a weekend with it, before even having the photos developed.

Reasons:

1. the zoom control has a kind of "delayed-action" effect to it that makes it extremely annoying and difficult to frame your shot quickly.

2. The shutter release has even more of a delay. Forget action shots unless you photograph sloths and tortoises...

3. The case it comes with is huge. I can't see the point of making a camera so small then supplying a case so large.

Having said all this, the results from the one film I put through it were fine. So if you take pictures of things that don't move and you don't mind lugging the enormous case around, you may be happy.

PS. I swapped it for a Canon Sure Shot 120 Classic which is everything this isn't.

Summary: Terrible
Review: I was looking for a compact 35mm zoom camera, I wanted a camera to take the place of my clumsey Canon AE1. After some research I chose the Pentax 115G. After A trip to Europe I developed 20 rolls of film, boy was I disapointed with the results? I did not expect the clarity and quality that my AE1 would achieve, however the results were terrible. Out of focus and bad exposures were common. I returned the Pentax to my dealer and exchanged it for a Canon sureshot 120 classic. Now your talking fine picture quality, ease of use and superior features were normal for this unit, in fact I would go as far as to say the results were as good or better than my SLR.

Summary: Great little camera!
Review: My pentax arrived in the mail Friday (two days ago) and I have already gone through one roll of film. This is my first "real" camera and I was not sure I'd be able to figure out how to use it.

Well, I was wrong. After reading the manual and trying a few practise shot, I was able to use it with ease. I used the different features, including slow speed shots with no flash, and normal speed shots with flash, and it was pretty easy to do.

I got the developed photos today and saw that most of the shots turned out great! Of course I needed a tripod for the slow speed shots, but otherwise all the pictures came out clear. I've never taken photos of anything that looked this good.

I'm pretty happy with this camera!
