Pentax may have been the most prolific manufacturer of mediocre point and shoots.\u00a0 To clarify all but a few premium point and shoots fit into that category so they had competition from almost every camera maker but for shear quantity of middling quality Pentax takes the cake.\u00a0 I don’t know what the actually sales figures\u00a0were but based on the percentage of Pentax cameras found in thrift stores one can surmise.\u00a0 So in no way does this camera rise to the top of the pile, it provides a 38-140mm zoom\u00a0of f 5.8 – 11.8\u00a0 and pretty standard features.\u00a0 The only nice things about this camera\u00a0are the sliding lens cover and the blue backlit top LCD display.\u00a0 These touches set it apart from the more common pile dwellers the Espio 140 and Espio 140M.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
