Otherwise the camera works perfectly. Since the price is heavily discounted, it would be an ideal camera for someone plans to use it as a pure, fully automatic point-and-shoot (in other words, it's less ideal for people who like experimenting with advanced features). \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Zoom 70-X is one of the finest cameras in Pentax's late-80's 'Zoom' series of the advanced 35mm point-and-shoots.
