Pentax P&S cameras- I really like. Small shirt-pockets hold the 150mm zoom camera, but their pix give big resolution. You'll smile at 5X7 inch pix...you'll grin at sharp, contrasty 8X10 inch pix. I grinned at an 8X10 inch pic which I thought was enlarged from ASA 200 film...then my jaw dropped when I heard ASA 400 film "&" a 4X6 inch PRINT had been used for the enlargement!! I'm still giving wows over that photo. Despite the tiny camera, few features are missing...a Landscape & Spot mode are available as well as red-eye reduction, slow shutter, bulb, self-timer, remote, time, day & date. Only 2 things are missing... the 170mm focal length setting which its big (but equally tiny) brother 170 has...& the flash range is very short at 150mm setting using ASA 100 film. Yes, your excellent pix per roll will go way up...yes, people still want superb pix in their hands away from computer screens...& yes, film cameras are still better than affordable digital cameras, both in quality & price. Grace & peace to all readers... litesong
