5.0 out of 5 stars This is my favorite toy, August 4, 2002

By	Mark A. Abreu (THERMAL, CALIFORNIA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have only owned this camere about 3 months, so far I absolutely love this Pentax ZX-L, I own A Minolta, Olympus OM-1, Olympus
OM-4. Not that this other cameras are bad. but this pentax is such a joy to operate, It's lite, exposure is very acurate, you need to to feel and look through the viewfinder to experience the ease of functionality. I recomend this camera to anyone how loves to take photos as much as I do.
