The Pentax Z-1p\u00a0is a very ergonomic camera\u00a0with a shape that presages the modern DSLR.\u00a0 The handgrip allows easy one hand carrying with great indentations for the thumb and fingers.\u00a0 The front and real dials are right at the perfect spot for access, in fact I prefer the front dial\/shutter arrangement\u00a0to that of the Pentax K-7, K-5, K-5II\u00a0form factor.\u00a0 On the Z-1p the dial is behind the shutter which is at the most natural location for the index finger tip.\u00a0 There are a lot of settings that can be configured as well but without the menu system of a digital camera it’s sometimes harder to sort out.\u00a0 Many drive modes including up to 9 multiple exposures are available as well as bracketing from 0.3 to 4.0 stops.\u00a0 Exposure compensation and spot metering are also at a buttons press.\u00a0\u00a0 All in all this is my favourite SLR.\u00a0 Other posts and images about this camera can be found here<\/a>\u00a0and here<\/a>\u00a0on my blog<\/p>\n\n\t\t
