Tough and weatherproof body, Built-in Shake Reduction, Convenient AA battery power, Broad degree of customisation.

Support this site by price checking below The K200D’s strengths and weaknesses against the competition are pretty consistent from the comparisons above. For the same money or a little less you could buy a lighter DSLR with Live View facilities and e...
Speed, kit lens AF, easily scratched shell, tight SD slot
I really enjoyed using the K200D. It is logical to handle and its build quality means I’d be happy to use it in harsher conditions. The images I got from the camera also were very pleasing, especially considering previous exposure problems with othe...

Sensor-shift image stabilization; wireless flash control; sensitivity-priority mode; dust and water resistant.
Inaccurate, though still pleasing colors; tends to underexpose images; no live view mode.

Solid AF performance for an entrylevel cam, Good battery life with the right cells, Rugged, allweather construction, Highquality kit lens,
Menus awkward at times, Heavy and large for a consumer cam, ISO 1600 a bit weak, Continuous shooting still slow, Pentax K200D

Sensitivities up to IS1600 with low noise, great colour balance, sensor-based stabilisation, dust reduction
Some detail lost in HDR shooting, some minor under-sharpening The Final Word Pentaxs K200D may not quite be enough to topple the Nikon and Canon empire in the entry-level SLR space, but it is a very solid alternative. It combines image stabilisation a...
Pentaxs K200D may not quite be enough to topple the Nikon and Canon empire in the entry-level SLR space, but it is a very solid alternative. It combines image stabilisation and dust reduction with some impressive images and a great build.
