Some help for paragraph 5.5: Pentax seems to call their 35mm 'point-and-shoots' "Compact Cameras." At last count on the latest brochure I have, I find 19 of them in the "IQ Zoom" series, which offer apertures of 28mm to 48mm at the low end, and up to 200mm at the top end! Some have spot metering, some have macro capabilities, some are weather-resistant. Some offer aspherical lens elements, and some have the famous SMC lens coating. Some even offer a Panoramic print format. Many offer a self-timer. All are autofocus and autoexposure. Pentax stretches the term 'point-and-shoot' to the usual limits and beyond! Paragraph 5.5.1 info: Pentax offers the efina-T, a small 3X autofocus zoom which is their only APS camera. keith whaley
