Pros Everything
Cons Nonething
Recommended it? Yes

For Christmas last year I decided to ask for a gift certificate to an electronics store because I wanted to buy a more advanced camera than a point and shoot. The reason for this is that I was travelling to Africa the next year. This was a once in a lifetime trip for me and I wanted my lions,... Read full review »

Compact AND Too Big

Pros compact
Cons need to carry parts with you
Recommended it? Yes

The Pentax ZX-50 is one of the smallest, lightest autofocus SLR cameras on the market. This is great, because the person that would of used just a point and shoot camera can use it, but it's still large enough to warrant it's own case-you cannot throw this into your purse or pocket. SLRs in general... Read full review »

INTRO
My wife and I were searching for a camera that would be as easy to use as an aim-and-shoot, yet take photos that were almost professional quality. Thankfully, we decided on the ZX-50.

I had always been a little leary about autofocus cameras because I owned nothing but manual... Read full review »

Pros Easy to start using, manual mode and automatic modes, good instructions
Cons Included lens has small zoom ratio, camera buttons "stick" after use.
Recommended it? Yes

This camera is almost perfect. I wanted to get into photography so after talking with several people at the camera store, I decided to buy a Pentax ZX 50 with a 35-80mm lens. I like it because it offers fully automatic operation, but allows shutter speed, aperture, and focus to be set manual. The... Read full review »

Pros Easy focusing, great pictures
Cons Aperture setting sometimes difficult.
Recommended it? Yes

Just bought the ZX-50 based upon reviews on this site and camerareview.com. It's a great camera and I'm glad I purchased it. I have an older (1972) Konica rangefinder and have tired of it scratching my glasses. I purchased this camera in part because I'm taking a photography course at college. It... Read full review »

A couple of years ago I was finding the point-and-shoot cameras too limiting, and I decided to buy a Pentax SLR because of affordable price, light weight, fast autofocus and because it had all the features I needed at that time.

I liked the camera very much -- I was taking it to dusty... Read full review »
