Pentax K200D Intro
Announced alongside the K20D at PMA 2008 is Pentax's new K200D, which adopts the ten megapixel CCD image sensor that was previously used in the K10D, along with the same buffer memory. Designed for ease-of-use, the Pentax K200D includes a range of auto and scene modes that weren't found on the K10D. The K200D includes a 2.7" LCD as in the K20D, but it should be noted that there's no live view functionality, since this isn't possible with the CCD imager the K200D is based around. Also included are shake reduction, weather-sealing (to the same degree as the K10D, although there are fewer total seals since the camera body has fewer openings in it), and more.
Pentax K200D Features
- The K200D offers Auto Picture and Scene modes that offer shooting ease, while advanced modes, such as the Sv mode, allow photographers to grow with the camera.
- A weather and dust resistant body, unique in this class of cameras, that allows photographers to keep shooting even in harsh conditions.
- Custom Image functions that allow users to select between six preset options and further adjust image processing, including saturation, hue, contrast and sharpness. The K200D also offers an Expanded Dynamic Range function that allows users to gain more contrast and detail in bright settings.
- The K200D has an improved Dust Reduction system that features the new Dust Alert function to pinpoint the exact location of dust particles for the photographer to remove.
- A Pentax-developed Shake Reduction (SR) system for sharp, blur-free images even under difficult shooting conditions, such as macro and telephoto photography or low light settings without a flash.
Pentax K200D Pricing and Availability
The Pentax K200D ships from March 2008, priced at about $800 including the new smc PENTAX DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL II kit lens.
