Pentax K200D

by Gordon Laing

Comments:
The Pentax K200D is an affordable 10 Megapixel DSLR with built-in Shake Reduction that provides stabilisation facilities with any lens you attach. Announced alongside the K20D in January 2008, the K200D may be over-shadowed by the feature-packed 14 Megapi

Review Verdict: The K200D boasts a mid-range specification in a budget model DSLR body and has some neat improvements over its K100D forbear. Image quality is great and, just like the K100D, bar some minor quibbles, overall it is excellent

Pentax K200D Review

by David Rasnake

Comments:
With Pentax's 6 megapixel entry-level concept beginning to really show its age, few were surprised by the addition of a new 10.2 megapixel DSLR, the Pentax K200D, to the company's stable this year.

Review Verdict: prices - could be the much less well-known Pentax's ticket to gaining ground in the breakneck consumer DSLR race

An entry-level DSLR featuring facets of its more advanced sibling - too good to be true?...

Review Verdict: 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 other Pent

Pentax K200D (Body only) review

by Online Shopper

Comments:

Review Verdict: Pentax's K200D entry-level SLR gives a lot of bang for the buck and has better performance than last year's model. Despite low noise and pleasingly detailed images, technically inaccurate colors keep it from capturing the gold medal for image quality.

Pentax K200D

by Rich Trenholm

Comments:
The Pentax K200D is a user-friendly, entry-level dSLR. If you've got old Pentax lenses hiding in the closet, you can give them some fresh air with this compatible camera. Its use of AA batteries and SD/SDHC cards make it accessible and you'll find some su

Review Verdict: The Pentax K200D has a couple of flourishes -- like optical image stabilisation -- but lacks entry-level features such as live view and face detection. It's chunkier than we'd like with such a basic model, so if you're after an entry-level model there are
