It's chunky, some might say ugly, but pretty well made. You can't, for instance, accidentally change the autofocus mode (as you can with the (P)Z1-P), because it has a little button which you have to depress before the slider will slide. It's heavier than any other Pentax K-mount camera, save the K2.
It offers manual or programmed exposure modes, and the system for switching between modes, speeds, ISO, etc., is simple and quick.
Auto-focus is OK in daylight, but struggles in low light.
The top plate displays aperture and shutter speed, but only the speed is displayed in the viewfinder. There is no DOF preview.
It's a cart-horse, rather than a race-horse, with all that that implies.
