Pentax Z-10

I recommend the Pentax Z-10 for entry level or amateur photographer who want to learn as basic photographic until step up to digital photography.

Plenty of features make it flexible for the more experienced photographer, but newcomers will also find this modern SLR model an ideal first camera to get started in photography with. The detachable motorised zoom lens has both automatic and manual options, as is the case with focusing, manual or automatic settings are available. The LCD display on the top provides lots of information and is easy to follow at a glance with its icon symbols. There is also LED lights and symbols in the viewfinder which provide useful information on exposure and flash use. The built in pop flash is easy to operate, but does take a couple of seconds to charge up between shots. All in all, a nice looking and easy to use professional SLR camera which I would recommend for the beginner or the professional alike.
