    Donny-
    Can you tell us more? You've posted on a forum for digital SLRs. This isn't a digital SLR Is it? Is it even a digital camera? I checked the Pentax digital camera reviews here and can't find that camera. Here's a link to all Pentax digital cameras listed on the site: http://www.photographyreview.com/sf-...ctlistcrx.aspx

    Thanks, Frog. I moved this thread to Help Files. And as for buying a 13 year old 35mm point-and-shoot, I'd probably pass. Of course, it depends on your budget and the price of the camera. But that's pretty old for a point-and-shoot camera. If it's a 35mm P&S someone is after, I'd recommend the Olympus Stylus Epic. It's inexpensive, a classic and an absolute jewel!

    Note: I'm referring to the non-zoom version of the camera. It's the winner. The Stylus cameras with zoom lenses aren't even close. The Olympus Stylus Epic has been the secret weapon of many pro photographers.

    From the looks of it, it better not sell for more than $2.
