    Good Points: Great for actions shots especially good quality, easy to use from go, but you can do more if you read the manual.


    Bad Points: Had a whole film come out in an orange colour and fuzzy and when taking a pic, it blinks slowly.


    General comments: I've taken some awesome photos with my Pentax MZ-60 Date camera, but I don't know whats going on with my camera. I had a whole film come out in an orange colour and fuzzy, all of it! It's happened again in the occasional pic, since then too. Also when taking a pic, it blinks slowly. I have taken it in to the camera shop and asked them about it but the girls knew nothing. Ummm....rewinding of film has become louder. Seriously I haven't used this camera much, it's basically brand new. I don't want to sell it, it's my first SLR Pro Camera, so I'm just going to work out how to use it professionally and buy some attachments at eBay. Woohoo!

    It's just a material thing though you know, as long as it takes pics you want to last the benefit! Unlike the digital cameras, you can transfer straight to the computer and never bother to print them out, plus with those digital cameras, unless you have an expensive camera, expect your photos to be fuzzy.

    The Pentax MZ-60 Date 35mm SLR camera is reasonably priced, but it can be a bit too clever for its own good! It has 9 exposure modes, coupled with a controllable built in flash with red eye reduction. When used with a fully dedicated flash unit it will control all aspects of the flash settings. These functions are all fine until you want to get creative! It will let you take full control, but using it in manual or aperture priority mode can be a bit of a long winded affair. The auto focus is fin ...

    The Pentax MZ-60 was my first SLR kit, which came with a 35-80mm f4/5.6 FA lens. I have been using it for two years, but have recently relegated it to back-up camera.

    The camera is quite good value for money and an ideal starter SLR, with plenty of features. It has nine modes, including automatic, as well as aperture mode (Av), shutter-mode (TV) and metered manual mode (M) for the enthusiasts. Exposure ranges from 1/2000 second to 30 seconds, although in bulb-mode the exposure can be set for ...
