I found this cam at the thrift store for $5...so far it works well. Going to develop the first roll of film by wednesday to make sure it's shooting well. http:/ / www.photographyreview.com/ mfr/ pentax/ point- and- shoot/ PRD_383906_3108crx.aspx?TabID=3 how does this compare to a digital camera????

:You are trying to compare a bicycle to a Harley in some ways. The Camera you have is the film equivalent to a P &S digital camera in that you have no control over the aperture of shutter speed the cameras uses to expose your film.

It's not digital, it cannot be made digital, it was cheap when it was new, this sort of camera is generally crap. It is the 35mm film equivalent of a cheap POS off-brand digital toy, even though Pentax is actually a name brand camera maker. Having said that... I do hope you enjoy it.
