Looking for a simple, pocketable 35mm camera that still gives you creative room to move?

✔ Versatile 35-70mm zoom for real-life shooting – The Pentax power-zoom lens on the Espio P covers wide scenes through short portraits, making it flexible for street, vacation, and daily use.
✔ Simple, fully automatic operation – Film advance/rewind, exposure, and focus are handled automatically by the Espio P; you just need to choose framing — perfect for first-timers or those who want quick, no-fuss shooting.
✔ Helpful extras built in – The Espio P includes a built-in flash with red-eye reduction and multiple flash modes, self-timer, and an LCD panel/film confirmation window to show shooting info.
