Some advice please! What are people's thoughts on a Yashica T4 vs. Pentax ESPIO Mini? Does anyone own both?
I owned T3, T4 and the Espio, sold the T4 and still have the other two.
Espio is more pocketable. Has a 32mm lens (not a very big difference, but noticable).
Both are lightweight plastic things, pretty fragile, much more than a T3 or Mju-II.
Both lenses capable of very good results, maybe the T4 being a bit better if you count hairs.
I would recommend the Pentax because of the price.
The only thing bothering me about it is that the AF system has a problem with parallel lines, like shutters, fences, tiles and such - but it's managable.
