Product Description

The compact and stylish IQZoom 105G incorporates a high-performance 38mm-105mm (2.8x) power zoom lens. Covering the wide-angle to medium-telephoto range, it can be used for a wide variety of subjects. The IQZoom 105G features a highly accurate multi-pattern metering system to produce beautifully exposed images, even in complicated lighting conditions. When the metering system detects low-light or backlight situations, the built-in zoom flash automatically provides fill-in illumination. Many flash functions are available including: flash-on, flash-off (museum mode), slow shutter sync (sunset mode), bulb-sync (fireworks mode) and bulb (evening mode) great for pictures in any lighting condition. The active auto focus system ensures pinpoint focusing on the subject, even when the subject is off-center.The IQZoom 105G handles film loading, film speed setting with DX-coded film, film advance and film rewind automatically. Zoom macro lets you get super close to your subject ? as close as 2.2 ft (65cm) away ? in any focal length setting. A large LCD panel located on top of the camera provides a wide range of operational data, so the user can quickly confirm settings. The "Actual Image" viewfinder shows the image size in relation to the zoom ratio, providing a concise preview of the finished photo. The adjustable diopter allows the user to match the viewfinder image to his/her eyesight. The built-in electronic self-timer delays shutter release by 10 seconds, allowing the photographer to take a self-portrait or join in a group shot. Even when you forget, the camera won't. If it's not used for 3 minutes, the IQZoom 105G will automatically shut itself off, retract the lens and close the protective cover. "Red-eyes" can spoil an otherwise good picture. So Pentax provides a red-eye reduction feature that reduces the likelihood of this unsightly effect. Record those moments forever with the optional date imprinting available on the IQZoom 105G Date model.

Customer Reviews

Good All Purpose Camera
Got this 105G with QD back in Nov.2000. Pictures taken have been sharp and clear. In sunny conditions taking still pictures with Fuji 100 film provided brilliant, vivid colors. Just hope this one will be as reliable as my last IQ ZOOM100 which lasted 6 years and traveled all over the globe before it was stolen. To a previous reviewer: The viewfinder focus can be adjusted using the diopter adjustment dial. At about 10oz. with battery, this camera is NOT heavy at all.

Likes: Good, solid construction. The zoom movement, shutter action, and auto lens cover closure all convey a sense of quality materials and good mechanical design, unlike some minoltas and olympus cameras I've compared with.

Minor dislikes: on/off button right next to shutter release button. Zoom lever at an awkward position not like the old models where the zoom is integrated with the shutter release button, i.e., one finger to zoom AND snap picture. The accompanying case is TOO SMALL...can barely fit one extra roll of film in there...I suggest get a leather case. I got this camera at a really good deal so I shouldn't complain!

Overall, a good value in an "aim and shoot" camera.

crisp, clear images
This camera has excellent ability to capture fine details. I was able
to stand at the base of a cathedral, aim the camera up, and take a
picture of the architectural details at the very top of the cathedral
- that's probably some five stories up. .... The drawbacks were that this camera was quite heavy, and
the image from the eyepiece was always blurry for some odd reason.
