Review on Pentax Zoom 160 Date Camera by Lamar Marshall

Revainrating 2 out of 5

But it would be great.

While traveling in Europe this summer my wife and camera were stolen in Cologne. I've looked in many places for a replacement and settled on the ESPIO 160 (German version of the IQ Zoom). Less than a week and a half later the camera broke while we were in France and it was Bastille Day. No shop was open where we were so we lost a day enjoying some of the best scenery we have ever seen. The week and a half it worked was great, but now Pentax is giving me trouble because it's coming from overseas and I'm stuck with a broken camera for now that costs 675 DM (over $300). I'm not sure I would quickly buy another Pentax due to the lack of quality and customer service.

Pros
  • Lasting test results
Cons
  • Sparse instructions
