PENTAX ZX-M Customer Review(s):
Summary: Excellent camera, but keep a couple things in mind...
Rating: 4 (out of 5)
Comment: I bought a Pentax ZX-M (not from Amazon) a couple years ago.
This is an excellent camera for a great price, and I've gotten my money's worth back and then some. The lens that comes with the kit does particularly well in close shots.
That being said, there are a couple things to beware of:
- this camera is not so good for shooting pictures of animals (birds, pets etc) since the shutter is rather loud.
- it is also very light and so it seems very front-heavy with a big lens or on a light (cheap) tripod. The lightness is a huge plus when hiking or during any activity when you just don't want to lug around heavy stuff.
- be careful when you need to change the batteries. Try to do so while there's no film loaded. I don't think this is supposed to happen, but it ate the film I was shooting when I ran out of batteries and had to change. I'm pretty sure this was a mistake on my part, so either read the manual carefully and do it right, or just change batteries when there's no film loaded.
Happy shooting!
