Features of Pentax ZX-L
Six selectable auto Picture Modes Six segment light metering TTL auto pop-up flash w/red-eye reduction 11 Pentax Exposure Functions Wireless Flash & High Speed Sync capability
The innovative Pentax ZX-L features super-compact dimensions, simple operation, and Pentax's original Auto Picture Mode with a large illuminated mode dial. Designed for intermediate photographers yet easy enough to use for the budding amateur, the ZX-L is fully equipped with high-end features. The Auto Picture Mode automatically selects one of five picture modes: landscape, close-up, action, portrait, or standard program. The latter setting is based on your subjects' distance, lens focal length, and movement; the ZX-L then tells you the camera's decision via the illuminated mode dial. This eliminates the need for you to flip through different modes yourself when photos are quickly needed. You can tackle any lighting situation with the built-in flash (with red-eye reduction) and Pentax's sophisticated six-segment multi-pattern light metering system which calculates the optimum exposure, so that even the most difficult high/low-contrast lighting situations are no problem. The predictive autofocus function automatically detects your subject's motion and anticipates the correct positioning at the time of shutter release, resulting in perfectly focused pictures even when the subject is moving toward or away from the camera. You can also create artistic shots by combing exposures onto a single frame. When taking three or more exposure onthe same frame, simply press the multiple exposure button after each exposure to create your image. This camera also features quartz dating, panorama mode, and a remote control.

Pentax ZX-L Customer Review(s):
Summary: A very fine camera
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Comment: I just purchased The Petax ZXL, I could not be more pleased, it workds just beautifully, in the process of using it you dont have to go back to the manual for more instructions, although the manual is pretty good, if you have some experience with these types of SLR AF cameras, this is a snap.
The camera works so well, the results are excellent, it is just a winner, I cannot understand why [Amazon.com] no longer carries this camera,thats a shame.
Besides working so well, this as some camera reviewers over the years have said, is typically Pentax, neat as a pin, works like a dream, when I saw it for the first time a few days ago, found it irresistable, I enjoy using a camera that does not look like a star wars weapon, has a very contemporary look, fits me perfectly, works beautifully and still has a tremendous battery of electronic enhancements very well hidden, I love the thing.
Also shot some slides, I eventually scan them in and they come out great, pentax slides with the ZXL are superb.
Nuff said.

Comment: This is a excellent camera. Quick and easy to use. Lens works great and is a pleasure to use. Even in Manual mode with older K-mount lenses worked reall well...(had a few old Tamron zooms)...Well worth the money.

Summary: Pentax ZX-L, a superb camera
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Comment: I bought my ZX-L about 6 weeks ago, have always loved pentax equipment, saw it in a photo shop, fooled with it and bought it in a minute, not the best way to buy photo equipment.
Now, a while later, I could not be more pleased, this is a beautifully made camera that consistently turns out magnificent photos. The idea of using an SLR as a point and shoot camera seemed ridiculous, I refused to accept it, started using it in Aperture or Shutter speed mode. The I decided to go for Pentax,s full program mode, and this is the way I use it exclusively now, the thing shoots almost exactly the way I would shoots, pick shutter and aperture as well as I can, also sets off flash when required, in that it does a much better job than I could.
There is no way to beat this silver beauty, there really is nothing to criticize, a great great camera.
If you,re looking for a new slr, go for the ZX-L, I just dropped digital and when back to film,
