| Latest Review Posted | Pentax MG
Excellent walkabout camera with no frills. When operated within the limitations it was designed for, it works marvelously. It has the "feel" of a less-robust build quality than it's ME predecessor, but in actual use, it seems equally capable longevity-wise. I think of the MG as an enhanced version of the MV-1, doing all the MV-1 does with shutter speed info in the viewfinder.
One plus not previously mentioned is the MG's capability to be used with Pentax dedicated flash units (specifically the AF-200S, AF-160, AF-280T, and the AF-080C Ring Light). You are provided with a flash ready light (and X indicator) in the viewfinder with the shutter in AUTO mode. You get automatic synchronization for flash on charging.
Overall a fun camera to use! |
