Digital SLR Blog Home > Digital SLR Blog Cnet Reviews Pentax K200D Tanya Palta added on May 11, 2008 The Pentax K200D DSLR has been reviewed by Cnet and feels its ideal for old-timer Pentax users or those have old Pentax lenses lying around. The entry- level 10.2-megapixel dSLR is compatible with most Pentax lenses and has been built ergonomically.  The Optical image stabilization is a thoughtful addition however they don’t like omission of features such as live view and face detection. Conclusion: “The Pentax K200D is a straightforward entry-level dSLR. For each higher-spec flourish, it lacks a more obvious consumer-friendly function like live view and face detection. But SD cards and AA batteries keep things simple. We prefer the controls of the Olympus E-510 over the K200D's somewhat clunky operation, but compatibility with older Pentax lenses may give it the edge for some people over the Four Thirds lens range.” Tags: Cnet, Pentax, K200D, Pentax K200D, review Advertisement Contact Tips Technical Links C/Net DC Resource DC Views Digital Camera Review DP Review Imaging Resource PC Magazine PC World PhotographyBlog Other Reviewed.com Blogs Camcorderinfo Blog Reviewed.Com Blog Wirelessinfo Blog Top Reviews Kodak EasyShare Z812 IS - 8.1 MP, 12x, $279.99 Fujifulm FinePix A920 - 9 MP, 4x, $199 Olympus SP-560 UZ - 8 MP, 18x, $499 Canon PowerShot SX100 IS - 8 MP, 10X, $299 Nikon D200 - 10.2 MP, DSLR, $1700 Most Popular Tags DSLR Reviews Accessories Nikon Software Canon News Olympus lens Firmware Updates Sony Cameras Sigma Imaging Pentax Mac Lenses EOS
