I love this camera. It has so much flexibility and so many features. I had a Pentax K1000 film camera that I just loved (still do). The K200D will take all my old lenses. I have to manually focus, but the K200D will adjust exposure to the set aperture and with the right setting will even take the picture with the shutter depressed only when you have the correct focus.
It uses AA batteries, awesome! Reviewers critcize this feature which makes no sense to me. I know that in 10-20 years I will be able to find AA batteries, lithium or rechargable, anywhere. A proprietary battery pack with a proprietary charger like so many of the other DSLR’s? Good luck finding those even 5 years from now. I bought some 2500 mah recharchable AA’s that last for over 500 shots at least (mostly non-flash).
The 18-55mm AL II kit lens is very versatile and clear, produces great pictures. 18mm Digital is ~28mm or wide angle for film so I’ve captured some great landscapes, turned around, zoomed it in the 55mm and gotten a great face pic of my kids.
No, this camera does not have live view and does not shoot video, but that is not photography in the traditional sense. Looking through the viewfinder is natural and gives you realistic composition, especially in strong sunlight. I’ve tried live view DSLR’s and they drove me crazy, especially in sunlight where composing a picture became difficult. Shooting video with a DSLR is like shooting still photography with your videocamera – yuck.
The K200D has a very solid body, is weather sealed, and after a year of constant use has proved to be a tank like my old Pentax K1000. Did I mention it takes “RAW” in PEF or DNG format with the click of a button and the quality of the pictures is outstanding? 10 Megapixels is enough resolution to print most any size picture other than billboards, and going to higher megapixels only makes the file sizes larger to work with.
Go for it.
