Pentax A3000???

[cuchulainn]

In addition to my 2 Yashicas, I was also able to find a Pentax A3000. It looks almost new! I know nothing about this model. Has anyone used one of these? What are their good/bad points?

I believe that the A3000 is the same basic camera as the P3n, with the addition of an internal power winder, and substitution of exposure compensation on the A3000 for the exposure lock on the P3n. Both have the same exposure options. If this is correct, it should be a pleasant handling, easy shooter capable of good results. All 3 of my P3n's have given me good service. I shoot mostly in metered manual, or aperture priority.
