The Compact digital SLR camera with semi professional characteristics
The entry-level series of PENTAX digital SLR cameras continues with the introduction of the new K200D, featuring the acclaimed Pentax Shake Reduction (SR) system. Blurred hand-held photographs, particularly with telephotos or longer exposure times, are a thing of the past

Two sensors are used by the SR system to detect any vibrations and compensate for any movement by the 10.2 Megapixel CCD. This blurring protection system occurs directly at the CCD saving the user from having to acquire expensive special lenses

Thanks to the Pentax K-mount bayonet virtually any Pentax lens can be used with the new K200D digital SLR. The exciting news is that the new series of PENTAX SDM lenses with ultrasonic autofocus are completely compatible with a new entry-level class camera

The extensive features of the K200D equally address the needs of the entry level or photo enthusiast: for example, the highly precise 11 point autofocus system or the sensitivity setting up to a low-noise ISO 1600. Thanks to the simple and logical control concept of Pentax and use of extended Picture Modes there is almost no need to spend hours studying the operating manuals before use. This K200D comes with a 18-55mm f/3.5-6.3 ED AL[IF] lens. This universal lens offers a wide range of applications from wide angle photogrpahy to telephoto, making it the ideal lens for an unknown photoshoot
