When my Oly AZ-1 zoom p&s camera's film transport failed after about
five films - but over 12 months use - I looked outside the Olympus
catalogue for the first time in a couple of decades for a replacement.
I'd seen many glowing reports on newsgroups about the Espio 928 (by
Pentax, apparently the inventors of the zoom p&s) and when I found a
used one in a local shop I bought it, even paying an extra couple of
quid to extend the guarantee from 3 months to 12.
That was in October and the novelty hasn't worn off yet; I can hardly
put it down and have just collected my sixth set of prints from it,
cleaning out my "Winter stock" of Superia 400. It's my first ever camera
of this brand and it's made me wonder what I've been missing...
