Pentax MZ-60 This was my first SLR kit bought in January 2003, which came with a 35-80mm f4/5.6 FA lens.

Advantages: Lightweight, easy to use
Disadvantages: Awkward location of some buttons

Pentax MZ-60

This was my first SLR kit bought in January 2003, which came with a 35-80mm f4/5.6 FA lens. The camera is I belive quite good value for money and an ideal starter SLR, with plenty of features. It has nine modes, including automatic, as well as aperture mode (Av), shutter-mode (TV) and metered manual mode (M) for the enthusiasts. Exposure ranges from 1/2000 second to 30 seconds, although in bulb-mode the exposure can be ...
...On the down side, the buttons are often small and fiddly and the overall feel is cheap and plasticky. However, I can testify that it is more than capable of surviving the usual wear and tear.

Quick review of Pentax MZ-60 DATE

The fact that it loads the film for you (I could never get the hang of putting film in a camera!) is FAB! This is my first autofocus, (great if you've forgot your specs! and which can be switched to manual focus) and autowind camera. Love the fact there is manual overide so you can experiment. The built in flash isn't too bad either, taken a few intimate gig pictures with mine which were pretty good. I agree about the AV button being a bit awkward, and the fact there is no depth of field button and little info in the viewfinder is frustrating. I have had some good years and pretty decent pictures from mine and am not giving it up for digital just yet. A great first buy for people who want to get started in photography, but can't afford digi SLR's. ...
