Pentax Z-10 / PZ-10

Author: Lorena Gutierrez Date: not recorded
Pro	It's a strong camera, it focuses not very fast but well, it's not heavy and it works properly also in cold climate conditions (like cold at 4000 m high mountains in my country). Ergonomic and nice model. Not too plastic.
Contra	The autofocus can't focuses properly in low light conditions. It's impossible to set film sensibiliy in a manual way, and that's very usefull when forcing films, or taking night pictures. Not silent when focusing.
Thoughts	It's a solid camera, excellent for amateurs users. Also good for those who need basic features in a not heavy equipment.

Pro	AN EASY TO USE CAMERA, WITH BASIC FEATURES. EASY TO USE AS A POINT AND SHOOT. SOME MAY COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SLOW FOCUS, BUT IT IS FAIRLY QUICK, AND EQUAL TO OTHER CAMERAS IN BRACKET. CAN BE PURCHASED USE AT AN XCELLENT PRICE, AT ABOUT $100 DOLLARS FOR A BODY. USED LENSES ARE CHEAP, AND CAN BE FOUND EASILY AT ANY AUCTION SITE. METAL MOUNT IS A PLUS, IN COMPARISON TO NEWER MODELS THAT USE PLASTIC. HAS A STRONG STURDY FEEL AND IS VERY ERGONOMIC. NICE SLEEK PRO LOOK.
Contra	VIEWFINDER LACKS IMPORTANT INFO, AND MUST REVERT TO USING THE ABOVE LCD FOR INFO. FAIRLY NOISY FOCUS COMPARED TO NEWER MODELS, BUT NOT AN ANNOYENCE. BECAUSE OF ITS EASE OF USE AND LACK OF FUNCITONS, IT IS MORE FOR THE OCCASIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER. ADVANCED AND PRO USERS, WILL DESIRE MORE. FOR ADVANCED USER I RECOMEND THE PZ-1 OR PZ-1P.
Thoughts	A GREAT CAMERA AT AN XCELLENT VALUE. LARGE ARAY OF ACCESSORIES AVAILABLE. A PLUS FOR BUILT AND CONSTRUCTION. ONLY PROBLEM IS LACK OF ITS ABILITY TO MOVE INTO THE ADVANCE OR PRO ARENA. MORE FOR THOSE THAT WANT A POINT AND SHOOT, WITH THE QUALITY OF AN SLR.
