Value/cost champion
I bought one K200 for myself and after 6 months – one more as a present. Both work just like Swiss watches.

Great Camera!
I have the Pentax K1000 film and made the move to this Pentax DSLR. My Sigma lenses that I have had for several years work perfectly with this camera!

Severe underexposure at all settings!
I just couldn’t believe that a Pentax camera could be this bad and waited far too long to complain. I have wasted far too much time trying to get exposures right only to find…

Feature-packed camera for a great price
I had two Pentax film SLR’s for over twenty years, and then came compact digital cameras. I was waiting for a reasonably priced DSLR to move up to.

Pentax K200D 10.2MP Digital Camera
The camera takes great pictures. I first ordered the camera body only and used manual lenses from my old Pentax film camera. Didn’t take long before I ordered auto. lenses.

This camera is amazing.
I’d been looking to make the cross-over from a regular SLR camera to a Digital SLR for a while. When I read about the Pentax K200D, my jaw hit the floor.

Great camera
I’m not qualified to do a detailed camera review as we just recently switched from a point and shoot to a DSLR.

Big bang for a little camera!
I have a K200d and a Nikon D300 but I have to say that the K200d is pretty much on par with my D300 when given enough light and shot in lower iso ranges.

Nice camera!
I also own a K1000 slr that I got in 1986. I bought this camera specifically because my other lenses should fit it. Unfortunately, my 80 mm zoom from JCPenney does not.

A solid value!
I come from the world of manual film SLRs; this was my first digital SLR. It’s an excellent and solid camera, and simply can’t be beat for the price.
