When you are looking for a camera what is the most important thing to you? Price? Style? Size? Quality? How about….how good are the pictures?

The Pentax IQ Zoom 160 delivers quality pictures that have my friends wondering if I took them with...

Pros: loaded with features, easy to operate
Cons: slightly heavier than some other point and shoot cameras

Recently I decided to purchase a 35mm point and shoot camera. Years ago I used a 110 Instamatic and was quite pleased. My husband told me I was so skilled at composing pictures that I should buy a 35mm SLR. About 5-6 years ago, I purchased a Canon EOS...

Pros: easy to use, takes beautiful pictures
Cons: none

When my trusty old 110 camera finally bit the dust three years ago my fiancee decided that I needed to step on into the 90s. Off we went searching for a 35mm camera worthy of my futile attempts at catching all those picture perfect moments. We found it...

Pros: Zoom, Easy Loading, Red Eye Reduction
Cons: Panorama Shots

Two years ago my husband bought me the Pentax ESP10 160 zoom camera. He owns an old Pentax where you have to check settings, focus, and do so many things before you can take the picture that he usually misses the opportunity. I did not want this. I...

Pros: Light weight and easy to use
Cons: Have not found any

I looked at many different point and shoot models with zoom lenses. All had their good and bad features, but the Pentax 160 seemed to have the best balance. I like its light weight, versatility, and special features like panorama options. It fact, the...

Pros: Great features
Cons: Doesn't have auto off

Been using Pentax for 25 years-alternate between Pentax and Nikon-usually have at least 5 cameras I use at any one time. Wanted one that was not real expensive but had a great telephoto. This is the longest at 160mm. Researched before choosing and am...

Pros: easy to use,no attachments , zoom lense of 160, very easy to load film
Cons: none

This camera was the best investment i have ever made. If you are a family person, or if you just like to take good pictures, you will love this camera! Just point it in the right direction and shoot.... It's that simple . Every photo is a quality photo,...

Pros: dates photos
Cons: looks bad on enlargements

The IQ Zoom 160 is a neat little compact 35mm that has a powerful 38mm to 160mm zoom built right in. It's great to carry around in your purse, takes excellent shots because of the zoom, and has a large LCD screen that's easy to read/understand. The flash...

Pros: easy to use
Cons: some settings require a tripod

I recently purchased the Pentax IQ Zoom 160 because I got tired of missing those wonderful shots of my children while playing sports. I am able to zoom in on that perfect shot. I am still having to learn tricks to this camera. I have not quit got the...

Pros: Great zoom, 5 point focus, red eye reduction
Cons: no date, slide flash, somewhat bulky

This should be the camera you choose if you want a camera with a great zoom lens and ease of use. This camera is automatic in focus, flash, film advance, rewind, and film loading. Has a 38-160 mm zoom lens, which is ample for anyone going on vacations...

Pros: zoom feature and focus at all distances
Cons: wish I had purchased the dating model

You will not hear any technical mumbo-jumbo in this review because basically all I know about cameras is how to turn them on and press the button. That is why the Pentax 160 is perfect for me. Even if I were bright enough to figure out the focusing and...

Pros: Everything about this camera.
Cons: None.

I have enjoyed making photos since I was a child. I had "window shopped" for years for a camera which would "do everything", yet still be affordable. I found it in my Pentax 160.I bought my camera in March 1997. During the 3 years I...

Pros: ease of use and high photo quality
Cons: breaks easily and expensive to repair

While it lasted, I loved this camera. It is really easy to use and takes lovely pictures under many different conditions. About 6 months after purchase things began going downhill. It stopped picking the right aperture when on auto, so my pictures...

Pros: Incredible photographs, quality of a manual!
Cons: Macro photography is awkward with this camera, but that is usually the case with point and shoots.

This is such an incredible point and shoot! With settings that allow you to adjust shutter speed, focus, and zoom, you actually have a lot of control on the actual image that appears. The interface is incredibly user-friendly. A knob allows you to choose...

Pros: compact
Cons: battery life short

This is a great camera because it has a 38mm-160mm power zoom lens built in to a very compact camera, making it small enough to carry around for snapshots, but powerful enough to get great shots! The LCD panel is large, and very easy to read, there's...
