Thanks for that video! This Pentax Zoom 70 is my dad's camera with what he built all photo albums we have since I was born... Happy to have it with me to take beautiful pictures!
Was looking around in my father’s old “film photography caisson”, just looking for film development stuff when I noticed a small box. I opened it and found a leather case with this lonely camera inside. I wasn’t sure if it was something even good enough to test (more into SLRs than p&s), but this vid put me in the right mood to give it a try, so thanks mate!
Nice! I just got the Original IQZOOM which came out in 1986. Looking forward to shooting it. I think it feels great and solid in the hands. I also love that 80's video game look to it.
I will never be able to explain just how much time I've spent trying to find a single video that talks about this camera that i found at an estate sale... and here it is... in my recommendations.. using a completely different name than what I've been searching with...
Just got mine for 40kr (cheap af) with the original case and strap . However the 4 alkaline batteries seem to not be enough for it so im buying a lithium battery (as The instructions online said I could) , hopefully that’ll be enough . The cameras battery just blinks as its low and whenever I press something its buzzing SUPER loud , but that could be from the shutter not opening (as it said it wouldnt do on low battery) . And yes , the batteries are completely new .
Still not tried the camera, thought I’d watch this again first seeing I’ll be taking photos in the same area🤣 That’s the problem I’m thinking about, size, weight and shape, it’s not much lighter than my Fuji XT3
I’ve got this camera, never used it but looking at giving it a try when I can get out on the 1st April. Couldn’t believe it when the video started as these are the exact same streets I’ll be using it on.
Hi, I’m not sure if your account is still active or if you’ll see this comment but I was wondering if you knew how to turn off the flash? I want to shoot in the dark with special lighting but it comes with built in flash and the buttons don’t seem to turn off anything and I can only seem to find videos of how to use this model in foreign languages. It would be great help! Thanks in advance if you do see this :)
yeah i have the same problem, it seems that the automatic flash is always activated if theres not enough light. when i shoot in the daytime the flash somehow isnt automatically activated and i can activate the flash if i want to. did you fix this problem?
Usually the flash only fires if the middle button on the front of the camera is pushed down. If the flash always goes off the button might be jammed or the camera might be automatically using the flash because it thinks it's too dark.
I loved the video! Have you tried the Pentax Zoom 90 and if so what did ou think about it ? I really enjoyed watching this and I can't wait to watch more!
from the 59 authentic aesthetic videos I have watched I have learned that if a camera can fit in your pocket, its good
Thanks for that video!

Bought this camera to get my 8y/o nephew into photography and was wondering if it actually took good pictures. Finally a good video on it! Thanks! :)

I've been scanning photos taken 30 years ago with this camera; not too shabby.
a qualidade desse vídeo é surreal, tô apaixonada

great vid ! i have a pentax zoom 70 too, but the shutter doesn’t want to open. have any idea on why that’s so?
Really a fan of your edits because of that vintage vibe, do you have any tips or recommendation to give that vintage vibe to a photo/video?
This was put together really nicely! Just subbed. I actually just posted a “review” of an old Pentax camera my self.
Such lovely review
You're from Manchester! :D Im from Manchester too. Great video btw, I'll buy this camera.
Hi,thx for ur video,I got problem with my zoom 70,e9 flash on the LCD panel.what does that mean?
Hello, how long does your battery last? I'm struggling with mine it needs a lot
can you recommend any other cameras similar to this one in terms of quality and price?
The Ricoh TF-900 is great :)

And yes , the batteries are completely new .
Same situation, did the lithium battery work?
My parents still have the successive model, the Pentax Zoom 70-S. It works but I think it needs a new flash bulb.
Is it okay to use flash under daylight?
Yes it is. Google it.
Still not tried the camera, thought I’d watch this again first seeing I’ll be taking photos in the same area🤣
That’s the problem I’m thinking about, size, weight and shape, it’s not much lighter than my Fuji XT3
Where do you develop your film? I'm from Manchester and would like to get into film photography
There's a lab on John Dalton street called advanced photo where I go most of the time :)
They have now moved into the arcade in St Anne Square - I use them too. Great people!
great video my guy
Bloody cool video , man
Do you know what it means if the battery symbol is flashing
I think it might mean the battery is low
What is the difference between the zoom 70 and the zoom 70x
honestly i have no idea it looks like a sleeker version so maybe a later remodel
Do you have the instruction manual for this?
Sorry unfortunately not
I still have that camera, just tryna make it work!
Amazing bro
Hello:) Is this camera suitable for an amateur?
Absolutely :)
@@jamstills Thx:) Compared with Ricoh TF-900, which one would be better?
I’ve got this camera, never used it but looking at giving it a try when I can get out on the 1st April. Couldn’t believe it when the video started as these are the exact same streets I’ll be using it on.
Nice work
What kind of film does it need?
It uses any 35mm film. Some cheap ones are Kodak ColorPlus and FujiColor C200 :)
found one of these in goodwill for $10 :)
Awesome :)
NICE! Got mine from there too
jut got this camera from a thrift shop for 4 bucks and another 5 bucks for the battery. can't wait to see how the images will turn out.

That clunky shutter sound...
