A great camera with easy to use. But Nikon Lens quality is Superior compare than PEntax lenses. This is an excellent and fun camera to use. I first thought the illuminated control dial was a gimmick, but it really is useful in dim light or when doing night photography. This one has all the features one could want, full auto and manual modes, picture modes, auto pop up flash, it even can do multiple exposures and can use a wireless remote shutter release.
Exposures are right on the spot.
Metal lens mount and many metal reinforcements ensures a long life. I like this camera, excellent for beginners, snapshooters and photo amateurs. I've used manual cameras for many years, including Minolta's X700, and I've been surprised how much enjoyment I get out of using an auto camera. Unless you're a professional, you don't need it. It's too costly on film.
