Pentax IQZoom 160 (Espio 160): Cheap thrills

I resisted for years, but I eventually saw the value in the late-era superzoom point and shoots. By the end of the twentieth century camera companies had perfected the technology of these all-singing, all-dancing autofocus machines, and despite some middling specs (maximum apertures often max somewhere between f/3.5 and f/5.6) they take good pictures.

At first blush, it makes sense: The supply of new cameras made over the last twenty years is a small fraction of what came before. And those good old cameras are getting older, so there’s got to be some that no longer work and/or are…
