The original Pentax IQZoom compact camera was introduced in 1987 and available in most locations worldwide. It won awards from the Technical Image Press Association (TIPA) and European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA). The Pentax Espio camera was released in 1992. From 1990-2005, Pentax sorted its compact cameras into two main groups. The low end range had a PC prefix. The high end series was branded as Espio. Afterwards Espio branded models started appearing in some regions instead of IQZoom which was now most common in the US. These were mostly quite advanced compacts with built-in flash, autofocus, and zoom lenses. Espio/IQZoom models are listed below.
