Pentax's 2001 budget compact — four-step 35-60mm zoom, infrared AF, one of the lightest Espios at 174g

The Pentax Espio 60S was a late, budget entry in the long-running Espio series of 35mm autofocus compacts, released in 2001. In North America it was sold as the IQZoom 60S. At around 174g it was one of the lightest cameras in the line, positioned well below the long-zoom Espios as a simple, inexpensive everyday camera.

Its 35-60mm zoom is unusual in that it steps between four fixed focal lengths — 35, 45, 50 and 60mm — rather than zooming continuously, with a slow maximum aperture in the region of f/6.3-10.2. Focusing is by infrared active autofocus and exposure is fully automatic with an AE lock. DX coding is limited to ISO 100, 200 and 400 film with no manual override. The built-in flash offers auto, red-eye reduction, fill-in and off modes, a self-timer is fitted, and the reverse-Galilean zoom finder shows roughly 80 percent of the frame.

This is a light, cheap and cheerful point-and-shoot for beginners and casual film shooters, best loaded with ISO 400 negative film given the slow stepped zoom. Reviewers note the bright viewfinder and comfortable handling, but also an aggressive power-saving mode that retracts the lens and takes a moment to wake, which can cost spontaneous shots.

Fully electronic, it will not operate without battery power, so confirm it switches on, the lens steps through all four zoom positions and the motor wind runs a film through. Because the lens cover does not close in sleep mode, check the front element for scratches. Verify the flash charges promptly and the back-door seals are sound; the US IQZoom 60S name is the same camera when comparing prices.
