Pentax K2000
First Impressions Review

The Pentax K2000 (dubbed the K-M outside of the USA) joins the already saturated entry-level SLR market. The K2000 distinguishes itself by providing a generous amount of help to new users; a simple and clear control system; and a bevy of image presets and filters. Pentax has also included an external flash unit to the body-and-lens kit, providing more bang for your 700 bucks. In our brief stint using a pre-release version of the camera at the Photokina show, the focus felt very fast, and the camera was light without feeling fragile. The K2000 kit will debut in November 2008 for $699.99 with a DA L 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 AL lens and AF200FG flash. The body will be released separately in early 2009 for an unannounced price.
