I had a Pentax IQZoom 160 film camera about 6 years ago that got damaged and had been looking for a replacement since that time. The price was so good on this I couldn't pass it up and I was so happy to find it, bid and win! I live in Hawaii and the sunsets are breathtaking. This camera catches all of that in vivid detail, and the panorama mode is what I liked the best. Digital cameras are good, but they don't have this capability. The camera is easy to operate and also takes excellent macro closeup shots, too. Of course, I can't print out my own pictures on my computer like I would with my digital, but I'm still very happy with this type of camera. Pentax is a well-known name and reliable manufacturer. The seller I bought this camera from also had a 200 zoom included in the package, so that made it an even better deal. Shipment was fast, very well packed, all new inside the original boxes including manufacturer warranty cards, batteries, camera cases and straps. When these cameras first came out years ago, they were very expensive and were considered "high technology" for their time. Today, they are very simple to use and produce good shots and clarity for those of us who still know how to use them and what to do to achieve great results. I'm very happy and have no negative comments about the cameras or the seller.
I damaged my wifes camera and I promised I would get her a new one, therefore when I noticed this camera in ebay, I quickly bid on it. I asked the seller about the condition of the camera and he replied that it was like new and only used one time. It is a much nicer one, with more features and needless to say my wife was very pleased. cob97
This camera takes great pictures, but it rather large to carry around. I had a 140 zoom that took great pictures, but it no longer works. Thought this camera would be the same size as my 140, but is much larger and heavier. If you don't care about the size, this 160 zoom takes great pictures.
I bought the camera because my old one quit working and I liked it enough to get another one. It is a great film camera and easy to use. This is the second one we got on e-bay. The first one did not work and I had to send it back. Bummer. The second camera works good.. plus the seller was real nice to deal with.
I like the camera and its working fine. My other camera, a 200 zoom had a malfunction and the parts for it were out of date now. So to E-BAY I go ! Thanks for the item to the seller and E-BAY.
I love this particular camera--I already had owned one previously before it stopped working. I always had gotten copmpliments on the pictures i had took. Feel very comfortable with it-wished I could have gotten the next strongest zoom but I guess it was not meant to be. Wanted to replace my broken camera so I would have it for my cruise to Alaska!
