Pentaxs K200D entry-level SLR gives a lot of bang for the buck and has better performance than last years model. Despite low noise and pleasingly detailed images, technically inaccurate colours keep it from capturing the gold medal for image quality...
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.
Abstract: with Pentax 18-55 mm lens$1200Keeps the others honest This is a 10-megapixel evolution from the K100D Super with many of the same features - sensor-shift image stabilisation, dust removal, rugged construction and good ergonomics. No essential f...
The combination of Pentax body and Pentax lens works well. The lens is well made, focuses quickly and reasonably quietly and has a useable manual focus ring. A little more friction would be better, but it is OK. Images are sharp. Saturation and contras...

This really is a fine camera. Comparing it with more expensive Nikon and Canon 10mp DSLRs shows just how good the image quality is. The lens, unlike most of the competition, doesn’t feel cheap. Pentax are to be congratulated for keeping the zoom ran...

The K20D has a 14-megapixel CMOS sensor and a Live View mode. The K200D reviewed here has a regular 10-megapixel CCD and no Live View. Despite that, the K200D is a very accomplished little camera, which shares many of the features of its bigger brother...
