With the manual-focus 35-70mm zoom lens, images can be brought in twice as close as with the wide-angle setting. Users set the shutter speed between bulb and 1/2,000 second manually. The bright viewfinder with LED display allows users to see the image they are shooting and adjust camera settings for precisely the exposure they wish to create. The quick-release K-type bayonet mount enables users to switch lenses on the fly. This camera is powered by two 1.5-volt alkaline (LR44) or silver oxide (SR44) batteries.

This Camera is great for first time photographers, and also more experienced photographers. Earlier this year I took a photography class in which I knew nothing about SLR's, but I found this camera easy to learn and operate. It has a great choice of shutter speed and also has a light meter that will help create great exposures, its light-weight makes it easy to handle, and it's fairly inexpensive. I think it is a great buy for anyone interested in photography.

I bought this camera in January 2002 after weeks of researching all types of SLRs on amazon.com. I finally decided on this one and I know I made the right choice! I am 17 years old and this is my first "serious" camera. After reading the instruction manual and after going through about 2 rolls of "experimental" film, I found it easy to take beautiful, clear and sharp photgraphs. I actually prefer the all-manual settings. They are easy to get used to, and the simplicty of the camera helps you to focus on taking great pictures right away. The light meter is great, and indispensible to me. The camera feels balanced and sturdy and well made.
I highly recommend it!

Sharp pictures. Easy to use even for the non-mechanical. Great light indicator- which tells you if you have enough light for a certain shot. I am a beginner and this is my first SLR, but my pictures are great!

I have just begun using an SLR camera. This was the right choice. It is simple to handle and does not have any confusing features. And best of all, it doesnt break. All around i think this camera was a good buy.
I love this little camera May 15, 2003

So there I was... a college guy who wanted to do photography of the world around him and become the next (insert famous photographer) but had failed a class in high school and wasn't ready to drop a ton of cash on something he would be sick of in the next week.At first, I thought this was a piece of junk. It's lightweight (almost plastic body) and didn't look like it would hold up in my klutzy lifestyle. I WAS WRONG. This camera has traveled accross the country, been in rain and snow storms and still held up with the best cameras out there. The only drawback is that it's a manual camera. Which means, you need to know what you are doing to take good shots. I had no idea what was going on when I first started and now I am shooting pictures that hang in galleries and have won all sorts of awards. I will tell you that I did buy more lenses for it - and you know what! They were darn cheap on those auction websites. This is the best camera you are gonna get for the amount of money you are spending. Don't be fooled by it's low price either. I love mine, and am hesitant to trade it in for anything else. ...
