This camera is excellent.
I have gotten accurate metering outdoors, in backlit situations, indoors, low light, shooting slides, etc.
This camera has an "auto" mode that turns it into a glorified point & shoot camera, and when I check the f-stop and shutter speed settings I nearly always find them appropriate for the situations I'm addressing. For more control, metered manual, shutter priority and aperture priority modes are extremely easy to use.
The AF system is great, too. The body supports AF tracking for when a subject is moving. I have found that feature to work well, also.
This body has a durable *metal* KAF mount for lenses, which means old Pentax lenses from years gone by will fit.
I find the 28-80 f/3.5-5.6AL lens to be an adequate general purpose consumer zoom. It's not a fast high end zoom, but works in most situations.
The on camera flash is very convenient, and pops up automatically in most situations where it is needed.
