My Review 

As a shutter bug moving from my Brownie and Polaroid, I found this camera to be exciting, easy to use, and with excellent results. It's one of the best cameras I have ever purchased. If I could find another K1000, or comparable Digital SLR, I would not hesitate to purchase it. The cost of the K1000, compared to other so-called top of the line SLR cameras during that period, was more than worth the purchase.
