The first thing that hits you about the K200D is its size. Pentax describes it as “one of the most compact DSLRs on the market”, but we beg to differ. Compared with, say, the Nikon D40, the K200D seems large. Compared with your typical compact, its e...
With the K200D, you get ease of use and good performance. But it’s rather bulky and we think it offers far more features than most family members would want or need. If you’re thinking of moving up from a compact, then give the K200D good cons...

Pentaxs K200D is relatively bulky and heavy for an entry-level DSLR, but the dust- and splash-proof body is surprisingly robust. The use of four AA batteries contributes to this bulk, but battery life is excellent at 1,100 shots. This is partly do...

There are two things that we've loved about Pentax SLRs in the past. The first is the swift adoption of CCD-shifting image stabilisation, and the second is the price. Without exception, the previous *ist D and K100 cameras beat the equivalent Nikons...

While the Pentax K20D may appear “over-megapixellated” (or a bit too expensive), take a look at the "little" K200D which appears a slightly less impressive (10 Mpix) but is mighty attractive with its weather-sealed body, integrated stabilization system...

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...
It is almost impossible to extract the SD card without dropping it! This is the most annoying card slot we have ever encountered.
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 new Pentax K200D replaces the K100D and is targeted at family users and digital SLR beginners. Although its 10.2-megapixel CCD image sensor has lower resolution than the 14.2-megapixel CMOS chip in the K20D, the entry-level K200D has similar dust-...
