Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - Excellent package for the price I bought this camera to have a "good camera" for a trip to Europe, and I am in the shakedown phase of using it. This is my first AF camera, but prior to this I used another Pentax SLR, the P30t. This camera has an excellent metering system. While you may wonder if a metering system with 35 points is better than Pentax's 6 segment metering, I doubt very seriously that it is. I have gotten accurate metering outdoors, in backlit situations, indoors, low light, etc. The spot metering system also seems to be accurate. This camera has an "auto" mode that turns it into a glorified point & shoot camera. It works fantastically! When I check the f-stop and shutter speed settings I nearly always find them appriopriate for the situations I'm addressing. If you shoot slides have no fear, the ZX-L does not overexpose. For situations in which I want more control, both the shutter priority and aperture priority modes are extremely easy to use. The AF system is great, too. It is not loud (though not as quiet as the Canon USM AF system), but it is reasonably fast and quite accurate. The body supports AF tracking for when a subject is moving. I have found that feature to work well, also. This body has a durable metal KAF mount for lenses, which means old Pentax lenses from years gone by will fit. So you might be able to extend your lens collection for this camera by borrowing from friends who have old Pentax lenses they no longer use. For instance, I an old 50mm SMC-A lens from my old P30t with this camera just fine. I find the 28-80 lens to be an adequate general purpose consumer zoom. It is, of course, not as fast optically (f/3.5-5.6) as a high end zoom, but works in most situations. The on camera flash is very convenient, and pops up automatically in most situations where it is needed. I have taken about 15 rolls of print film since getting my camera 1.5 months ago. These include indoor and outdoor pictures, pictures with the on camera flash and a larger flash on the hot shoe. All came out well. Exposure times varied from about 1/500 to 10". I have taken a roll of slides outdoors in bright sunlight with no exposure problems, and at night as long exposure with no exposure problems. Rating: - Superb camera I have been away from the fun of taking pics for about 15 years, as you know camera electronics, and autofocus has evolved tremendusly in the past 15 years, in the past I would have never paid a dime for this electronics that only would take controll away from the creative photographer, but today there are several good choises in a quality auto camera that you can use manually as well. the first thing that cought my attention was the really beautiful desing, is just a pleasing to my eye, second take the camera in your hand and you will know how light this camera is, look through the view finder and slightly press the sutter, the autofocus is fast and accurate, and all my photos are properly exposed. the best part was this model sells for less than some of the other cameras I also liked. my recomendation buy it.
